a vintage boxed set of six cake (or pastry) forks. These were incredibly popular in South Africa during the mid-20th century (1940s–1960s) and were often used for afternoon tea or as wedding gifts.

Description & Identification

• Type: Three-tine cake/pastry forks. The left tine is often slightly wider or notched to help "cut" through cake.

• Material: Most likely EPNS (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver). This means they are a base metal (nickel) coated in a thin layer of real silver

• Case: The original silk and velvet-lined presentation box adds to the charm and helps preserve the value.

• Condition: They appear to be in good vintage condition, though they have some natural tarnish (the dark patches). This is easily cleaned with a silver polishing cloth or a mild silver dip.

Estimated Value: R100 - R300
