Silver Salver
This very interesting EP silver salver was sent to us by Kathryn Stewart and her husband. Kathryn's' mother's godmother(grandmother) was a Katherine Wood, who originated from Burntisland, before marrying Kathryn's grandfather.
David Wood, was for many years in the late 1800s, a prominent bookseller and stationer in Burntisland. He also operated a 'lending library'. David Wood himself was a local councillor, eventually holding the position of Bailie. As well as the book and stationery business the Woods also operated the local post office. The inscription reads-"Presented to Mrs. D. Wood by the Post Office employees Burntisland 13th January 1885".
This was obviously a presentation by those working for the Post Office who had contact with the shop and dealings with the Woods' in the course of their employment. It may have been a retirement gift? More research needed. If you can through any light onto members of the Wood family please contact us.
