You are missing the little fruit knives and demi tasse spoons. We
also had bone marrow spoons in our silver set, with long handles. )
Where did your Mother come from? Most American sets did not have the
fish knives and forks, but did have shrimp forks. My son inherited my
Parents' silver, but much of it was lost or sold during emigration.

I received Noritake china as a "first apartment" gift from my parents
in 1947, Service for 16 (two sets for 8) in plain white and I still
have almost all the pieces. Terry, you ate off it last year. )
