[26-0527] Tried to post this under Shiebler but it would not let me? I noticed that I am listed as a member by my name and not as a new member anymore, if someone could enlighten me to why? Any ways here is the post I tried to make.

This is a wonderful fork. I really don't know what it is, maybe a lettuce server? Beyond that, might be for fish. It seems I have seen this pattern on souvenir spoons. Hope others more knowlegable will be able to give more information. IP: Logged |

I was thinking a cold meat fork, but don't know for sure, b/c I don't have any books on shiebler yet- plus i don't know if this is a documented pattern. IP: Logged |

Have been thinking and wondering if this is a possibility-since this pattern seems to be unidentified, yet inexcusably rococo in design (I looked it up -scrolling shells, floral, random yet well designed) I wonder if shiebler originally made this as the pattern "Rococo," but later changed to what is now known as rococo b/c of unpopularity, high cost to make? or maybe combo of the two. Any thoughts? IP: Logged |

This is a Lettuce fork. Lettuce forks and Lettuce spoons were made as a set and they are basically the same thing that we call salad sets today. IP: Logged |

Given the length of the piece and the gold washed tines I would say that the piece is most likely a Lettuce Fork. IP: Logged |

I don't think this is a lettuce fork. They have longer and more spread-out tines. I would guess this fork was made to pick up thinly sliced food products. IP: Logged |

have adjusted the photos(honest, i didn't realize they would come up so annoyingly large  and added a profile shot (and left my blackberry in the pic for reference, because of the crazy curve in the handle, it's sits a little sideways.) Hopefully this will clarify. IP: Logged |
