Welcome to our collectibles collection.

We are non-professional enthusiasts of collectibles supporting people down-sizing to sell their items for a bit of spending money and selling family personal collectibles.

We see TradeMe as a community with shared values such as acting with integrity, treating everyone with respect, sharing a culture of mutual honesty, communicating politely, and cooperating with us for positive outcomes.

We value those who close trades within 36 hours, send correctly formatted and accurately post-coded addresses.

Due to reported scams caused by account numbers being intercepted electronically, direct payments have gone, so please ask about any intention of combining. Within box volumes there is flexibility; but the safety of items comes first.

TradeMe have made direct credit options a choice of the buyer. DC becomes a private transaction only available on request at buyer’s risk. We recommend you convert to Ping. We prefer Ping for its accountability trail and ease, e.g. refunds are only available via Ping.

We aim to be fair and flexible in shipping estimates, given shipping costs are also volatile. If you are rural, select rural.

We’d love you to write to us if you’re happy or even (or especially) if you are not. Remember to be a kind community member and communicate fairly with all other traders.

Now to the item.

Antique Bone Handled Prong Fork and Pearl Handled Knife - two mismatched items but both desirable.

The item has a good patina and really is a delight.

This set is evocative of the early-20th century. The lot is in good collectible condition.

Dimensions approx 16.5 and 18cm. Our items are vintage charmers, with this desirable twosome, in G VG order subject to the usual shine-up, being a nice collectable lot.
