Reed & Barton Winthrop Shield Pumpkin Silver Plate footed Coffee Tea Set #1795

Description

Reed & Barton Winthrop Pumpkin Silver Plate footed Coffee Tea Set #1795. This vintage tea coffee service is a classic for any mid-century living and dining room. Coffee pot, tea or hot water pot, sugar and creamer.  Popular among all the traditional houses from 1960s.  The set is about 50 years old.  There is no tray, just the set.  In fact, it doesn't appear that there was a matching tray for this set, so any of your silver trays will work great.  These are different than the other "Winthrop" series as this is the special "pumpkin" and reminds me of Cinderella's pumpkin carriage.
According to Just Answers Antique appraisers it is valued at 0 - 50.  Replacements has this set priced at 9.  This set is in good shape.  It sat on the mantel for years and rarely used.  There are some cleaning swirls from polish which add to the luster.  There are a few very inconspicuous small stains, that may just be tarnish.  I polished it up before packing it up, and it looked great.  Your classically elegant dining room needs a "Fathers Know Best" tea service.  It appears this particular pumpkin set is getting more valuable as the years go. Each piece is stamped with the Reed and Barton stamp and model number and there are a few pieces with an additional security etching.  It is priced to be sold immediately.
This collectors set is truly a classic.  The pumpkin vine toppers are in great shape (all original) so for shipping I will remove them and wrap them separately so they don't get damaged.
