This pattern was discontinued in 1991.  The pattern has a cluster of rose blooms at the top of the handle and is beaded down both sides of the handle.  The 83 pieces consist of 12 French Knives (8 1/2" in length), 12 Dinner Forks (7 5/8" in length), 12 Luncheon Forks (7" in length), 18 Coffee Spoons (5 1/4" in length), 10 Round bowl Soup Spoons (6 5/8" in length), 11 Oval Dessert/Soup Spoons (6 7/8" in length), 6 Berry Spoons (8 5/8" in length), 1 Olive/Pickle, 3 tine Fork (5 3/4" in length)  and 1 Sugar Sifter Spoon (5 1/2" in length.  This flatware is monogrammed with a "M". This set is in excellent condition and I don't believe it was used very often.  The 12 knives are in a flatware protector as they would not fit into the chest.  The oak chest is also in excellent condition and it has a brass plate on the top with the monogram "M".  There are a couple of minor scratches on the chest but it truly is an exquisite chest.  There is no difference in the final price if you do not want the chest.  The shipping costs will be less without the chest.  The shipping costs quoted are an estimate with the chest included.
