Got these from my Great Aunt who lived in New York City all her life and thought they were really cool. They are 6 1/4" salad servers, two sets, in the Acorn pattern and a 5 7/8" butter spreader in the Cactus. They are all in Fine/Very Good vintage condition except one spoon that has 3 chips in the bottom of the baklite bowl and one chip on top of the baklite handle...someone might have got mad at that spoon...what a shame! I suspect she bought them in the late 40's or early 50's when she worked on Fifth Avenue. I love these pieces!

love these very much:)
Thanks, Bellin68. The weird thing is on set of the salad servers, the one with the chips and one of the forks have streaks in the bakelite like it was a bad casting. The other sald server set and the butter knife are really smooth and dark without imperfections.
anytime and i have to say that is a very sweet set my friend:)
