What have I let myself in for

Do you remember Mrs Thatcher's Salt shaker? Well, my Mother was so impressed with the information I found out that she has now presented me with the raggedy bunch of family heirlooms pictured with the instruction "see what you can find out about these"!
That'll teach me!
So far, just found out about the ornate toasting fork. Sheffield silver, by Henry Wilkinson 1895. Handle is unfortunately Ivory, but well outside the 1945 ruling.
So one down and 7 to go, until she finds the next lot!
