Description

Color: Silver A silverplate salad fork manufactured by Lunt Silversmiths, 1994, and part of a 77-piece set in the "Colonial Engraved" pattern which is based on a 1926 sterling silver pattern called "Early American Engraved." The handle features a border of a single-wavy line leading to an oval section at the end, in which an upright script "T" is engraved. Next to this area is a floral design with a trailing vine toward one end of the fork. On the bottom of the neck is the maker's mark, "LUNT", stamped. The piece was lacquered in 1994 by Glen Wharton and Associates and, although there is some tarnishing on the piece, it is in good condition.
