Good set - large meat fork that measures 8 3/4" - spoon measure 8 1/2" long with a nice deep bowl - used condition - shows the usual scratches from use. It's silver plate in nature - the backside bowls on each show no wear thru. Very heavy. This set actually belonged to my mom. 1959 is the year of manufacturer - I was 9 - mom made lots of yummies with this set. She was quite the little cook. Me not so much. Just passing them on.
