N/A. (N/A). 1947 advertisements show pictures of a set of one knife, spoon and fork with the following wording: "CHILD'S E.P.N.S. KNIFE FORK & SPOON SET. Famous Apex make. E.P.N.S. with "Koala" decoration embossed. Attractively packed in gift box. 13/6. EDMENTS LTD. 696-698 Hay Street, Perth, ALSO AT MELBOURNE, PRAHRAN, GEELONG, HOBART, LAUNCESTON, SYDNEY, ADELAIDE." It is not often you find advertisements for the exact items that you have for sale! Obviosuly, no knife here. The spoon and fork both are tarnished with some scratches and marks. Underside of spoon has heavy wear. The ice cream must have been really, REALLY hard, the spoon is very bent! Interesting pair of items. With inflation, the 1947 value of 13/6 for this set equates to near on $70 in today's currency - these were not cheap! Estimate: $5-10
