So the mystery is finally solved. Thank you Tom. I wish I had you around to go to yard sales with.!!.
Thanks,
Terry D.
Okay, guess it's not Mitsubishi. Not much I can say. A lot of this teak and brass flatware was made in India during the British occupation thereof. For some reason they favored wood handles and brass. I see quite a bit of it around. No great value t…
Hi Tom,
Im laughing right now. No, I meant Mid Century Modern because of the wood. I didnt know if it was teak, or what it was.. There is absolutely no markings at all on this entire set. Nothing on the box. That's why I was so stumped.
Somebody told me that MCM stood for Mitsubishi Corporation, as in Made in Japan.
I am still trying to identify this set of flatware. There are 12 pieces of each, and are in a goldtone that looks handmade. You can see the wood close up looks to be hand carved as well as the metal in the light looks handmade.There are no names or…
Hi Walter,
I did just read the whole story you sent me. Very interesting, very sad.I hope they are able to carry on the family business for years. Its really something isn't it. Well, I did not know if this was real or not. I was hoping it was. If i…
After taking a second, more careful look at the knife I now believe that it may be a genuine vintage, or even antique, Shibriya. The scratches may have been produced by someone using an abrasive to remove some rust (never a wise thing to do). The we…
This is a very nice example of a Bedouin side dagger locally known as Shibriya. The style is still very popular among the Bedouin along the Palestinian/Jordanian border.
I used to collect antique edged weapons but that was a long time ago. I stoppe…
Hi,
I just received this knife that measures 6" long from end to tip of blade with a cover.It is a silver color with designs etched in and brass bands with a colored stone . It has some foreign writing on the blade that looks middle eastern. I would…
Hi Tom,
Happy T/giving. I added close up picts. for you to look at, under Pictures for Tom of the flatware. Hope you can see better from these picts. Let me know.
Thanks Tom,

Hi Barbara,
I have been out of the house the last few days, and everytime, I forgot to get batteries for the camera to take some more close ups of these. They are beautiful. The pictures do not show that they are hand carved, but in person you can s…
Did you find out about your set yet. They are very lovely.
Barbara
Ok, Thanks, I am running to an auction. I will post some really close up picts tonight for you to look at. These look really hand made and made really well.They are not smooth, they look carved.
Thanks Tom,
Terry D.
Take some pictures of the other sized flatware. Close up of carved wood (It looks smooth, uncarved, in pix). Brass is yellow metal, others too. Copper is brown-yellow. I'm not a metallurgist. If you don't know call it "yellow metal".
During the Bri…
Hi Tom,
Thanks for getting back to me. It does not bend too easily. I pressed as hard as I can, and it only noved a very tiny bit. It has no initials, no stampings anywhere. Every fork and spoon and knife has quite a different shape than a normal se…
