An elegant, vintage three-piece meat carving set manufactured by the renowned W.R. Humphreys & Co. in Sheffield, England, dating to circa 1920s–1930s. This premium set features the maker's signature "Always Radiant"{C} stainless steel blade line and comes complete in its original fitted presentation case.{C}
The set features beautifully polished, matching cream-colored celluloid handles across all three pieces. The fork includes its original functional spring-loaded safety guard stamped with the prestigious "Haddon"{C} trademark—a premium brand line utilized by Humphreys. While the fork lacks a direct maker's mark, it is an absolute period-correct, styling, and material match to the rest of the set.
