It seems that every historic site we visit here in the East has one or more of these silverware cases. This one is in the Smithsonian American History Museum. The comment is that if they needed some extra money, they could melt down their silverware and sell it. These cases seem to be the BMWs and Cadillacs of the day. The cutlery we are using here looks like it came from a thrift store. Not much prestige here today.
