Antique 19th Century silver plated set of six Lobster picks and cracker by Lee & Wigfull, Sheffield, England. The partnership between George Shadford Lee and Henry Wigfull was dissolved in 1870. We believe these were made in 1860 as indicated by the style of the "S" stamp. Typical form, two pronged picks, used to extract meat from joints, legs and claws of lobster/crabs. Each handle is bowled and the body engraved with a lobster in the centre medallion. The cracker/pincer has a wonderfully smooth movement.
The set comes in its original leatherette and satin lined case.
The set was cased by Sam Lyon Jnr, of Blackpool, England.  

We assume this was the retailer at the time as well as being the Watchmaker to the Admiralty!  An impressive set for any dining table and worthy of any lobsters.

Pick length: 7.5"
