This is a good quality George V Sterling Silver Six Slice Toast Rack. The rack has a rectangular base, with a scalloped edge down each side, which stands on four bracket feet. The dividers are in a high arched style and the finger ring handle is tulip shaped. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The toast rack was made in Birmingham by silversmiths William Suckling Ltd and dates to 1932. William Suckling founded his company in Birmingham in around 1895. They initially produced electroplated wares but in 1922 the firm registered their first mark at the Birmingham assay office to produce Sterling Silver items alongside their electroplate manufacturing. They produced a wide range of silverware for the table and general domestic use before they finally ceased trading in 1965.

Condition is good with just a slight bend in the central divider below the handle plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect after 90 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The toast rack measures 10.5cm / 4.1ins by 5.5cm / 2.2ins and stands 9.7cm / 3.8ins high. It weighs in at a substantial 101.2g / 3.57oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on one side of the base, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter H for 1932 and the S Ld in conjoined circles makers' mark for William Suckling Ltd.

Shipping in the UK is £10 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the toast rack.
