“King Edward” Exquisite Silverplate by the National Silver Company.

1. Pattern/Brand • The paperwork identifies this as “King Edward” Exquisite Silverplate by the National Silver Company. • This pattern was popular in the mid-20th century (roughly 1936–1960s). 2. Composition • This is silverplate, not sterling. That means a thin layer of silver is plated over a base metal (often nickel-silver). • The guarantee notes that knife blades are “stainless” and not silverplate. 3. Storage Chest • The set comes in a fitted wooden storage chest with a velvet interior. These chests were often sold with the sets. 4. Contents (what I can see) • At least 8 place settings (knives, forks, teaspoons). • Several serving pieces (soup spoon/ladle, serving spoons, etc.).
