WINDMILL 25TH ANNIVERSARY SERVER SET

A very beautiful and impressive spoon/fork set for a 25th silver wedding anniversary

I have included a ruler and a normal tea sized spoon on the right to help you visualize the size
"mechanical" -- means that the windmill blades will spin

This very impressive set was manufactured out of sterling silver for resale at the prestigious Marshall Fields of Chicago ( model # 7011)
Engraved on the back "S.M. 1898 - 1923"
Both pieces have mechanical windmills
There is no manufacture stamp, but I am sure that this set was custom ordered through Marshall Fields


The spoon server bowl was repousse/chased by a talented silversmith with
a farm scene showing cows, swans, row boat and windmills


The fork was repoussed/chased with a similar scene (only smaller)


Cast into the handle is a heart.

Marshall Fields

Located on State Street in the Loop of Downtown Chicago, Marshall Fields was the world's largest department store.
It became an important social destination for Chicago's elite because of its high end merchandise and its many restaurants and lounges
inside the 16 story Trude building at the  corner of Wabash and Randolph or the 20 story annex acrose the street at 25 East Washington..
