Unique Mid Century Siam Utensil Set

JOHNNY’S GEMS Guaranteed Quality & Price Round Rock, Texas”

So this was sold through Johnny’s Gems in Round Rock, Texas — likely a local jewelry, gift, or cutlery retailer. That tells us:

🕰 Narrowing Down the Age • The use of bakelite/early plastic handles + velvet-lined wooden case suggests late 1940s–1950s production. • By the mid-1960s, melamine and stainless steel were more common, and presentation cases shifted to different styles. • The ornate floral/crest design on the brass/gold-plated cutlery is very much a post-war mid-century giftware look.

📍 Origin • These sets were often imported from Mexico, Italy, or Germany, then retailed through jewelry and gift shops in Texas.
