French silver and ivory salad servers. These would date from around 1930s-50s. French silver marks are Minerva's head 1 for .950 silver (above sterling quality silver) and the maker's mark of H & Cie. on the handles. The lower part from the ferrule down is marked with the hog's head for .800 silver. The tines and spoon are ivory. Clear schreger lines, particularly on the fork tines. Total length is 28 cm. Condition is very good - the ivory is stained dark with use - all that olive oil and vinegar - and there is a tight split line on the top of the tines near the silver join. (Inactive, won't affect their use). The silver is in very good vintage condition. (For use: never wash in very hot water, and never put into a dish washer).
