Does anybody know anything about these. They are not stamped but sometimes they don't stamp them. They are old as you can see from the box. Any help would be appreciated.

Sterling Silver FlatwareWhen it comes to antique sterling silver flatware, age is not everything. F…
Very unusual! Could you please take a photo of the staff from the side? Can't see the design in your current photos. Also, are there no marks at all? Also, how long are they, please? Thanks!
I'd say Thai or Indonesian.
I've added a photo that shows the ends of the handles. The spoon is 11 inches and weighs 205 grams. The Fork is about 10.5 inches and weighs 183 grams. There are no markings. They are also non-magnetic.
International Sterling is a company, it doesn't always mean that its MADE of sterling. The mark used to confuse people. They very well could be though, but sterling flatware is marked 99% of the time. They would be weighted too I assume, the handles would be filled with ceramic or resin. So that weight might not all be silver
Hi, I'm reporting back on this pattern. I have not found it on the internet. How certain are you that the box is original to these items? Do you know how old they are? Thanks a lot!
I bought them at a thrift store. They seem to fit very well in the box but your guess is as good as mine as to whether it is original to the flatware. When I saw them my gut said somebody got these as a wedding gift a long time ago. Left them in the box and never used them. I'm taking another piece to a local antique dealer to sell on consignment. I'll take these and see what she knows. .....stay tuned and thank you all for the help.
