About the Item

A charming and rare novelty set, these sterling silver ‘Man in the Moon’ menu holders were crafted in 1912 by Stokes & Ireland and assayed in Chester. Each of the four matching holders features a whimsical crescent moon face design—delightfully expressive and highly collectible. Beautifully presented in the original fitted case, this Edwardian-era set exemplifies the period’s creativity and fine silversmithing. These menu holders make a unique addition to a formal table setting, perfect for dinner parties, weddings, or as a conversation-starting decorative accent. An ideal gift for silver collectors or lovers of celestial-themed antiques, these novelty sterling silver pieces blend functionality with character and timeless appeal. Each menu holder measures 1.5"(3.5cm) tall, by 1.5"(4cm) wide, by 1.25"(3cm) deep, and the set together weigh 1.54 troy ounces. The box measures 2"(5cm) tall, by 7.5"(19cm) wide, by 2.5"(6cm) deep.
