Serving Fork - Pearl Handle - Coin Silver & Silver-Plate

This Victorian serving fork has a STERLING ferrule & the tined fork is made with melted silver dollars. Stamped on the back: “PATAPLDFOR. EXTRA COIN SILVER PLATE”, it has a pretty flower pattern at the base of the fork. Ferrule is stamped “STERLING”. Mother-of-pearl handle is lustrous & shows hues of pink, purple & peach. As with most old serveware, this piece shows its wear & tear. But it’s completely functional, unique & pretty. Look closely at photos; ask me questions. 8” long. Smoke-free & pet-free home. To keep tarnish away, wash & dry gently by hand after use, wrap in cloth & store in a plastic baggie.
