(excluding knives). Provenance: Hugh de Lacy Vincent (1852-1913) and Nannie McCutchen Vincent (1856-1935), to their son Hugh Evelyn Vincent (1890-1951), thence by descent through the family.

Overall Condition: Good. Some moderate wear consistent with age and use, but pieces are of a good, heavy gauge and have held up well. Knife blades are later replacements, with resulting damage and/or solder marks at the hilt and with some slightly mis-shapen handles. The knives monogrammed "HNV", the other pieces "HDeV". A well-used but sturdy set.
