A PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR SILVER.
The most effective imitation is in the Spoons and Forks, that
have a body of real silver plated over the British plate. So accu-
rate and durable are these, that twenty years' wear would not show
that they were not real silver, and they do not cost one quarter the
Price. The fact is the interest of the money that would be paid for
real silver will buy these things oftener than they are wanted.
Prices of British Plate covered with real silver :—Table Spoons, per
dozen, 445. ; Dessert Spoons, ditto, 345. ; Tea Spoons, ditto, 16s. ;
Table Forks, ditto, 40s. ; Dessert Forks, ditto, 30s. ; Sugar Tongs
per pair, 4s. 6d. ; Settee Ladles, each, 4s. 6d.; Gravy Spoons, each,
Ss. 6d.; Soup Ladles, each, 16s. 6d. They are manufactured ex-
clusively for MECHI, 4, LEADENHALL-STREET, near the India
House. The money will be returned to any purchaser who disap-
proves them. & very large assortment of Plated Fruit and Dessert Knives, real Sheffield Plated Goods, Table Cutlery, Small Cutlery,
