Hello

I am trying to find out some info on this AF Towle sterling fork.

The pattern name and date?
Thanks,
Pete

Interesting Towle pattern. Don't think I have ever seen it before. By the way, the mark looks like that of A.F. Towle purchased by Rogers, Lunt & Bowlen in 1901.

I have seen the same pattern, both with and without the high-relief "Gibson Girl" bust, used as a souvenir spoon handle. This is the first fork I have seen. I am surprised to see it; it implies that the pattern was available in a least a few place pieces for use, not just as a souvenir. Wish I could help you with the name.

Brent-

Thanks for your assistance I have a few books but found nothing to this fork.

My wife purchased this at a garage sale up in St. Augustine, Florida.

Its always fun trying to find out what you have.

Maybe someone will see this post and have answer.

Thanks again.
Pete
