DESCRIPTION: Set of Tiffany Sterling, Bamboo pattern - 1961, 40 piece service for 8 = 8 Forks, F2, 7 1/4", 8 Forks, SF, 5 3/4", 8, Teaspoon, TS, 5 3/4", 8 Knives including 6-full, hollow handle, #K1, 9.375", and 2 10", later version; 6 Demitasse spoon, DEM 4 1/4", four of which are still in original plastic protectors, 2 Salad Serving pair, walnut with sterling handles 10 3/4". In original light aqua zippered felt sales display from Gump's, San Francisco.
CONDITION: we see virtually no evidence of use. A stylish set, would be a shame to sell for silver value, around $1500. If you check silver replacements, and just take an average per piece replacement cost of $150, you get $6000 [six thousand]. For the demitasse spoons alone eBayers want $500. Lowest price we could find on individual pieces was around $79. And a set for 12 [check it out] is offered for $12,000 So our estimate takes all of this into account. All pieces are signed Tiffany & Co.
ESTIMATE: $2000 - $3000
PRICE SOLD: $3800
