Lot 374

Lot Description

A late Victorian silver game skewer with initial engraving, hallmarked William Hutton & Sons Ltd, London 1899, length measuring 7 3/4 inches (20 cm). Together with a set of six sweetcorn picks, possibly American, marked sterling. (2).

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

All the pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  Heavy tarnishing is visible throughout the game skewer and also to the handles of the sweetcorn picks, and they would all benefit from a clean and polish.  The tip of the skewer is bent.  Hallmarks are clear and legible.  Slight loss of surface detail to the sweetcorn pick handles and some dints are visible.  One of the handles is loose and coming away from the blade section.  Remnants of yellow (possibly enamel?) are visible to the tips of some of the handles, indicating that they were once enamelled?  Some rounding to the tips of the pick blades.
