This sterling silver cold meat serving fork was made by the Alvin Silver Company (acquired by Gorham in 1928) in the "Bridal Rose" pattern. This pattern was produced from 1903 to 1999. This fork belonged to my grandmother and probably dates from the first 25 years of the pattern's production.
It is in good condition with minimal wear despite its age. It is 7 3/4" long and has an "E monogram on the front of the handle. The back shows STERLING, PATENT and the Alvin maker's mark in the form used in the early years of production. It weighs 66 gms / 2.3 oz.
