Exquisite! Near Mint! ' Description   STRADIVARIUS WALLACE SILVERSMITHS, INC. 74 Piece Flatware Set With Some Completer Pieces   Photos were taken in the dining room.  A crystal light fixture gave off some interesting tones and also seems to greatly distort the sterling.   SEVERAL PHOTOS THE STERLING PIECES LOOK HORRIBLE AND EVEN DENTED OR BLADES NOT PERFECTLY SMOOTH WHICH ALL ARE. I am sorry for the distortion!  The Sterling Silver is perfectly beautiful I assure you.  If you would like specific photos please ask.  I will take additional and send to you.  Sorry about the lighting and distortions. Items are near mint, if not mint.  The pieces in this original service are all in excellent condition, bright and shiny with no dings, damage or dents, no monograms or removals. Every piece is guaranteed to be genuine, original, high quality Wallace Sterling silver with substantial heft and intricate pattern detail.  These pieces were all made in 1959, or before of high quality silver.  Please forgive the "Starting" price on this listing.  This  Wallace Sterling Stradivarius flatware set, was a wedding gift to my parents in 1959.  Both are deceased.  I have a daughter attending college in Washington State, and beginning her senior year in January.  I am selling this set to assist her with tuition/books/labs and living expenses.    I am not a dealer,  so please bear with me.  I believe this set was used twice.  I know for a fact it has not been out of the box, or cleaned since about 1968.  I carefully and delicately cleaned each piece, careful not to allow the pieces to scratch each other.  Some are virtually perfect, but  most have very slight scratches,  but absolutely no wear to speak of.   I have tried to take photos which show the beautiful condition of all pieces with one possible exception:    The "round" shaped, flat serving spoon has some type of "spotting" on the face/right side.  I tried to rub it off while cleaning.  I may not have been aggressive enough. I do not believe there is any damage imbedded in the spoon.  Possibly the "Wrights Silver Polish" needed to be left on.  I will describe the pieces the best I can.  Thank you very much.      This Set Consists Of The Following:     2 Piece Large "Carving"Fork and Knife (In original "Wallace Sterling" box.)     1 Small Tong(s)     1 Butter Knife (there are additional butter knives below)     1 Three pronged Small Fork (flares)     1  Delicate "Tiny" spoon (smaller than an infant spoon)     1  Small Fork With Four Prongs     1 Large Serving Spoon (No decorative holes.  I would say size is appropriate for vegetables.)     3  Serving Spoons Which Would Hold Approximately One Tablespoon.  These 3 come to a "teardrop" shape at the end.     1 Small "ladle" Spoon (Solid, no decorative holes of any type.)     2 Large Serving Forks     2  Small Serving Forks With Two Prongs Each (2 forks)     5 Small Butter Knives (Shorter than a regular flatware knife and rounded)     1 Round Almost Flat Serving Spoon With Decorative Cutout (This spoon is the one mentioned above, which has "spotting" on  the front.)     8 Dinner Forks     9 Salad Forks     12 Knives     17 Teaspoons     6 Soup Spoons   I will package each sterling piece individually.  I will wrap in Saran Wrap or cotton felt, whichever you prefer.  If you would like the wooden box, and original cardboard box for Carving Knife and Fork, I will also send that.  Shipping for the boxes will be an additional $25.00 and I may  send in a separate box.  This sterling is as described.  PLEASE:  No eBayers who have less than 99% positive rating, and at least 100 or more purchases and/or sales.  When I recieve payment, and payment has been verified I will ship:      1.  Insured     2.  Signature Required Shipping to United States addresses only.    Shipping to Hawaii and Alaska an additional $20.00                      Place a Bid!
