The items pictured are a set of vintage Yeoman Plate EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) fruit or dessert spoons with a large serving spoon, presented in their original red-lined case. The manufacturer, the Yeoman of England Company, began production in 1897 and became a division of Douglas Pell Silverware in 1972. These were given to my mother and father as a wedding present in 1958. The set includes 6 dessert spoons and one serving spoon, in the original silk and velvet presentation case. The case shows some wear and the hinges need to be repaired.
