antique flatware, primitive rustic country pioneer tin silverware, knife fork spoon

Civil war vintage tin plated steel 'silverware', a set of flatware for one, knife fork and spoon.

It's light in weight, and fairly small (the knife is 7 1/2" long end to end), though we don't believe it's a child's set.

We've never found a set like this before, with the ornately patterned handles. There's very little rust or wear to the utensils or the design which is remarkable considering it's age.
