Beautiful oval form silverplate waiter by William Rogers, with double handles and gadrooned edge. It measures approximately 26" long by 16 1/4 inches wide. From the estate of Elizabeth Jocelyn Jewett Tolar.
Elizabeth Jocelyn Jewett was born in 1940, the only child of Robert Drane and Harriet Harlee Bellamy Jewett. She graduated from New Hanover High School in 1958 and attended Stratford Women's College in Virginia. She married Frank Tolar, III, a fellow NHHS 1958 graduate. She was the granddaughter of Mary Wright Giles and John D. Bellamy II, and direct descendant of Judge Josiah Wright, Samuel Jocelyn, Dr. John D. Bellamy, and William Giles, and several other Wilmington’s founding families. She was deeply committed to and active in historic preservation movements both in Wilmington and later in Cary, NC, where she moved in 1997 to be closer to her grandchildren. She died January 28, 2016. Jocelyn is survived by her daughters Audrey Tolar (William Patton) of Knoxville, TN, and Lydia Tolar (Domenick Rella, fiance) of Cary, NC; her grandchildren Zachary Tolar and Leah Evans of Knoxville, and Eleanor and Frances Mehlenbacher of Cary; and sister-in-law Dare Tolar (Katharine Holding) of Black Mountain, NC.

Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
You will receive exactly the item pictured, minus any display props, measuring tools (such as rulers and scales), measurement comparison items (such as coins), and anything explicitly excluded in the text. Photos are likely not actual size; please see item description for dimensions. If there is a defect not discernible in the pictures, it will be included in the text. If there is a concern or doubt, please ask prior to purchase. Remember that color is a very tricky thing to transmit electronically. There are many variables, including lighting, background, physical filters, digital filters, the capabilities of the monitor on which the image is displayed, and the color perception of the viewer.
We purchase our items primarily at auctions and estate sales.
We purchase from reputable auction houses and dealers, and we test all gems and precious metals. While we are not experts, we try to list each item in as much detail as possible. We cannot describe every tiny nuance; therefore, please use the zoom feature and consider each picture carefully.
All of our jewelry items arrive in a gift box. If you would like a more impressive gift box, we have some available for purchase. If you would like non-jewelry items gift-wrapped, you can purchase gift-wrapping at checkout.
I ship all items the next business day after I receive them. First Class mail generally takes 3-5 business days in the U.S. Priority Mail takes 1-3 days in the U.S. However, please note that it took the US Postal Service 21 days to deliver one First Class package to California. Shipping to other countries can take 2-6 weeks via First Class International. If you need something for a specific date, consider using Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express.
Generally, no. I'm a one-woman operation and I don't have any live models available.

I offer layaway for items over $300. You may make up to 3 monthly payments for a handling fee of $5. A 10% cancellation fee will be charged if you cancel the order. No discounts apply.
