Piece Spotlight - USN Flatware

This is a bit more exotic than my normal wares. I found out later after filming that the pattern is called "Kings" and they appear to have used multiple manufacturers for their flatware. I found Reed and Barton and Gorham also made flatware in this pattern for the Navy. Who would have thought??
Some of it is pretty well worn but they made this stuff tough. In fact, the hallmark on the piece was rubbed away before you could really see a lot of wear on the bowl of the spoons and the tines of the forks.
