Presented is a set of 12 fabulous sterling silver oyster, seafood or cocktail forks from Whiting. This set is in the Imperial Queen pattern, which was patented in 1893. This pattern displays a fancy scroll edge and shell top details on both sides of the handle. The front of each handle is monogrammed with “K” in an Old English script. The fork ends shows a bright gold wash.
The reverse of each piece is marked sterling along with the maker's mark for Whiting Manufacturing Company and the patent date.
This set is in superb overall condition, probably never used. There are no breaks, no repairs, and no problems of any kind.
