Marks to slice: (eagle), A/C, (profile)
12-1/2 inches (31.8 cm) (longest, slice)

The Fish Slice and Fork each monogrammed M.C.E. to one cartouche.

Albert Coles was such a great maker of fancy flatware. Serving fish with a fish set that has entwined dolphins as handles and great engraving must have really turned heads at the table in the mid-19th century as it will at your table today. CV
