Regular price
$100.80
Presented is a great heavy weight Gorham sterling silver fork. This fork is made in the Old English Tipt pattern, which began production in 1870, though these are modern pieces. As the name suggests, this is a handsome pattern modeled after old English Fiddle pattern silver, with the fiddle-head shaped terminals and distinctive shoulders above the tines. This particular piece is marked E for "extra weight" as it is a heavier weight than the standard issue fork in this pattern.
We have other flatware pieces in this same pattern as well, which you can find in our store simply by searching the name, Old English Tipt.
The fork is in excellent condition. This piece has been professionally cleaned and polished and is like brand new. There are no dents, no splits, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The fork is stamped with the Gorham maker's mark and sterling, as well as 'E' for 'Extra weight.
The fork weighs 50.6 grams.
The fork is about 6 1/2 inches long.
