"Brand new" refers to silver service where the "brand" or makers imprint
(not the craftsman's stamp" was very shallow and light.  When it was new
it was very obvious but when it got worn and scratched it was not "brand
new".

One of those near useless bits (bytes) of flotsam floating around in
this trash heap of a mind. :)

Have a great day all.
