This canteen was made to house a set of cutlery. It was made to suit either 6 or 8 person settings.
The canteen is made from a stained wood and has a flocked blue lining.
The timber is generally in very good condition but there are some scratches to the front face to either end as shown. The blue flocking is also in very good condition with only a few rub marks. There are no holes or missing bits to the flocking.
The canteen was made by Mc Phersons Homewares in Victoria. They made cutlery canteens which were then branded by the cutlery companies who bought them. They were used by Rodd, Oneida and Grosvenor.
The canteen will suit all Rodd, Grosvenor and Oneida patterns. This particular canteen originally housed a Grosvenor setting as shown by the label.
There is a place for all place settings, dinner knives and forks, entree knives and forks, soup spoons, dessert spoons and teaspoons.
The canteen is 505mm long x 295mm deep x 68mm tall.
