Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 10-17-2005 07:44 PM N. F. stands for Niagra Falls Silver Co. Wev very correctly points out that it is an Oneida mark. My impression has always been that NF made primarily for sales premiums and free with coupon items. There are a lot of these pickle forks out there, which seem to have been given away by pickle companies. IP: Logged
