Three piece carving set from Meridan Cutlery co in good used condition. Carbon steel blade, and nickel plated fork and steel with sterling silver ferrules and butt caps on stag handles.
Meridan Cutlery Co (of Meridan Ct.) as the blade of the knife is marked was used roughly between 1855 and 1924 when the company was bought by cutlery giant LF&C also of Meridan Ct. Being that this mark was used for a good length of time it is not a great diagnostic feature in itself, I would assume it is from the later 19th or early 20th c from its general design.
Blade is nice and sharp and was not so sharpened down that it required a re-profiling.
