Walker and Hall Canteen

[ChrisH]

I have a Walker and Hall Canteen. It contains a mix of sets. The Walker and Hall cutlery is:

• 5 Tablespoons
• 6 soup spoons
• 12 dessert spoons
  -11 dessert forks
  Other cutlery in canteen:
  The knives are:
• 5 dinner and 5 dessert knives Barrow Everbright
• 4 dinner knives and 4 dessert knives Forth Stainless
• 1 Walker and Hall Dessert knife
• 1 Martin Hall Dessert knife
• 2 Walker and Hall ‘non stain’ dinner knives
• 1 W R Humphreys (my name!) Dessert knife
• 1 JW Carpenter Dinner knife
• 1 True Harrods Dinner Knife
• 1 A Breed Cutler Dessert Knife
  Also they have initials I assume for whom the service was a gift, but I cannot read them.
  I know that’s a lot. Any thoughts on what such a thing or things might be worth? And how do I read those initials? It may be a grandparent’s.
  Thanks,
  Cecil

The monogram is just “H” - upside down in your picture. Electroplate has no intrinsic value as there is no particular silver content. Take a look at Ebay’s “sold” listings to get an idea of what EP sets are selling for. Note that having a mixture of manufacturers and an owner’s initial is not going to help any value.

Thanks again, Phil. I’ll have a look.
