Medallion by Gorham

Medallion was introduced in 1864 by Gorham.  This is a fairly simple design with the head of a Trojan soldier in silhouette encircled like a medallion with a design above it on the terminal. A simple stem with a floret in the middle leads to the shoulder. And the shoulder is just three lines that open to the bowl.

Chipped Beef Fork (Part 3)

As I mentioned in my earlier post on Chipped Beef Forks, they come in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. And, often patterns will have some combination of the three sizes. Here are some more examples.

Georgian by Towle ( Small 6 3/8 inches)

Old Newbury by Towle (Large 7 1/8 inches)

Old Newbury by Towle (Small 5 7/8 inches)
 Note difference in design between the two sizes

Arabesque by Whiting

Arabesque was issued by Whiting in 1875 and was designed by Charles Osborne. The pattern has an elaborate design of a griffon carved on the terminal around a blank medallion suitable for engraving.   The stem in straight lines met two thirds of the way down with a square followed by a graceful design that flows onto the shoulder of the piece. Some of the shoulders and bowls have elaborate carvings on them
