pete Posts: 30 Registered: Jul 2003	posted 06-01-2004 06:13 PM [01-1533, 08-0151] Hello, I just purchased this fork? I am not sure what you call it. It was at a garage sale this weekend along with 15 other pieces for a whopping $10.00. Well probably won't find anything like this again. Would like to know the maker and year. Thanks for the help.

Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 06-05-2004 07:18 PM I believe your fork was made by the Concord Silver Company, Concord, New Hampshire. The company was aparently active from 1925 to 1942. IP: Logged

Patrick Vyvyan Posts: 640 Registered: May 2003	posted 06-09-2004 07:25 PM There's an extensive bibliography of silver publications at Silver Library One of the most important guides to US silver is: Rainwater, Dorothy: Encyclopedia of American Silver Manufacturers (Fourth Revised Edition) West Chester, PA: Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 1986. (3rd ed.) P.S. I believe your fork is known as a lemon fork, and I think the pattern is Old Hampshire introduced c.1925. IP: Logged
