Selling unused Nautical (Masculine) Dinner Service for 32 (or 2 sets of 16)...
It's called Victoria & Beale "Montana" service... [[don't understand the "Montana" name... since it's more nautical in nature).
This Service has 182 pieces of these the coffee saucer, salad plate, soup plate, dinner plate [[and accessory vegetable bowl and meat platter) have this design "Compass Rose" design... [[click on Salad Plate)...

I have a 5 piece dinner service [[dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl, cup, saucer) for 32. Plus there are 5 Creamers and 3 Sugar Bowls, 4 large Vegetable Bowls, 1 Meat Platter [[called a 12" Chop Plate)... and 13 extra salad plates + 4 extra soup bowls tossed in.
A "Full State Service" for 32 with accessories!! Perfect for someone in Indian Village or Boston/Edison or Palmer Woods... so you won't have to pull out the paper plates for a large gathering.
See here for an examples of the "Compass Rose" design thru the centuries...

This china seems to be pretty rare, since there are only 3 listings for "Victoria & Beale Montana" on EBAY...
Less than $3 per item, in unused condition.... total $500 for all 182 pieces.
Would consider breaking it up into 2 sets of 16 for $250 each....
