Carl Mertens Solingen Germany Stainless CMR12 Flatware Set 94 Pieces

A vintage 18-8 stainless steel flatware set by Carl Mertens - Solingen Germany - CMR12 pattern service for 12 with serving pieces and extras. Modern design.

94 pieces total... 13 salad forks 6-1/2'... 12 seafood forks or dessert 6"... 15 dinner forks 7-1/4"... 12 hollow handle knives 7-7/8"... 12 teaspoons 5-7/8"... 12 place/soup spoons 7-3/8"... 2 solid serving spoon 8"... 1 casserole spoon 8-5/8"... 1 cold meat fork 8-1/4"... 1 sugar spoon 5-5/8"... 1 master butter knife 5-5/8"... 2 pickle/relish forks 6-3/8"... 1 cake server 8-7/8"... 1 punch/soup ladle 11-3/4"... 1 gravy ladle 6-5/8"... 1 carving knife 10-1/2"... 1 slicing knife 12-1/2"... 1 carving fork.

Most pieces are satin finish all over. The salad forks and most serving pieces have glossy bowls and satin handles. I speculate that the salad forks were a later addition and the seafood/dessert forks were used originally in the place settings.

Great Condition... these estate items are close to new, and obviously only used rarely, if at all. These were found stored on a pantry shelf in a flatware container - you are seeing them as found, original. Hard to find this nice of a set!
