Presented is a set of 11 sterling silver seafood or cocktail forks, perhaps by Whiting. This set is definitely old, original production, because each fork is marked patent applied for on the back. That means that the forks were made before the patent was actually given. The forks are beautifully done with wonderful square & twisted handles. These were likely made between 1880-1900. The back of each fork is marked with sterling & patent applied for. This set is in fabulous overall condition & the designs are very crisp. There are no dents, no breaks, no splits, no monograms, no monogram removals & no repairs. Each fork measures about 5 3/8 inches long. The weight is 159.2 grams or 5.61 ounces. 11 Sterling Silver Seafood Or Cocktail Forks With Square Twist Handles C1890
