This is a 211 piece set of Reed & Barton Pointed Antique sterling silver that was bought between 1975 and 1984 by my cousin. It all came from a jewelery store named Ross Simon's. There are NO monograms and 15 of the serving pieces are still new in their plastic bags, unopened. Pointed Antique is an authentic reproduction of the original design by Paul Revere and it is America's oldest sterling flatware pattern. There are 12 place settings along with various other pieces, including serving pieces. The set is in excellent shape with no pits, bends, dents, or dings - only light marks from movement and storage. Notes left with the set by my cousin say that the set was used once, and not the whole set. She also obtained an appraisal of the replacement value in 1994 of 195 pieces, NOT ALL 211, of over $15,000 retail replacement cost. Below is a listing of each piece and the weight of the pieces in both ounces and Troy ounces weighed on a postal scale. All the weighted hollow-handled items have Mirrorstele stainless steel blades. PLEASE ASK FOR MORE PICTURES - I HAVE TAKEN MANY AND WILL BE HAPPY TO EMAIL THEM TO YOU. If the buyer is not interested in the chest I will deduct $300 from the price.The chest is a Eureka 3-draw solid-hardwood flatware chest that has a mahogany finish and a brown tarnish-preventive silver cloth lining. Manufactured by Eureka Manufacturing Division of Reed & Barton Silversmiths, America's Premier Silverware Chest Manufacturer. I do not know what model it is but appears to be similar to the current models called "Ambassador" and/or "Bristol Grande". It is used, but in great condition with signs of normal use, mostly from being in storage all these years. Has locking cabinet with key, holds set of 24 flatware place settings, and measures 19" x 12" x 15" (L x W x H).
