Author	Topic: Sheffield 1788 marks?
steveinlanc Posts: 5 Registered: Aug 2004	posted 06-20-2013 09:10 PM [26-2403] I recently found a very pretty diminutive sterling three-tined fork, just the fork and tang, no handle. It has three marks, crown, W, and lion, followed by "sterling" in a rough font. The fork measures 10.5 cm long and 1.2 cm wide at the base of the tines. So, is this Sheffield, and is it 1788?

And what if it is not "indeed Sheffield and the date mark 1888"? Will you still keep the fork? IP: Logged
