Can anyone tell me what type of fork these would be considered? This is the first time I have seen one in this pattern that looks like this. I have what is considered a luncheon or place fork, and it just looks like a shorter version of the dinner fork.

The other fork I have bought as a salad fork, has one thicker tine and small circular cutouts at the base of the tines.

How long is your fork? It could be a Strawberry or Lemon fork. Lainey

My computer screen is acting up again and the image that I'm receiving isn't great, but it looks like a fish fork in Simpson, Hall & Miller's 'Stratford' pattern. Very hard to come by; I'm envious!

Yes, it definitely looks like it could be an individual fish fork, and not a berry or lemon fork.

The forks are supposed to be 7", and are a set of 12 that I just won at auction.

Does anyone have any catalog info on this pattern "Stratford" or listing of the pieces made?

I have thought about writing International to see if they have any information, but feel rather out of touch because I currently reside in Saudi Arabia.
