Silver Trove

 

The silver display sponsored by the Friends of the Northern Ken­tucky Comprehensive Care Center drew considerable interest with over 350 guests attending at the Ft. Mitchell Country Club.

The flatware, candy dishes and sugar and creamers were among the silver pieces in the Daniel Carroll Hemingray display. Two huge punch bowls from the USS Ken­tucky were also displayed. This sil­ver is housed in the arsenal in Frankfort. From private collections, there were butter servers, pickle and spice servers, tea sets and candelabra.

Included in the display were samples from the Hemingray Glass Co. Some of the pieces were tele­phone insulators and jars.

Mrs. C. Gordon Walker and Mrs. Richard Franz cochaired the event which displayed an estimated [dollar:$500,000] worth of silver.
