Baked Potato Fork

I addressed the utility of this piece earlier (See December 2, 209). Here are some examples in different patterns.


American Beauty by Shiebler





Baltimore Rose by Schofield (7 1/2 inches)





Heraldic by Whiting (7 1/2 inches)





Irian by Wallace (7 1/8 inches)





Talisman Rose by Frank Whiting (7 1/8 inches)





Versailles by Gorham (6 7/8 inches)

    Hi
    It’s me Sandie again with more history and the proper name of the Baltimore Rose by Schofiel fork- It is a “Lemon Fork”. And now the Stieff connection:
    In 1967 The Stieff Company acquired
    The Schofield Company (which startedin 1903 originally known as Baltimore Silversmiths Mfg.Co).from Oscar Caplan.
    (Oscar Caplan & Son were a Baltimore area jewelers)

    Again, I appreciate your assistance here. As I stated before any clarification is great. I find that many pieces are mislabeled although, when I am looking at pictures and not the actual pieces, often I am at the mercy of the description. Obviously, these two pieces could easily be confused given the size and design of both.
