Crumb Knives - Revisted (3) part 9/22

When I first looked at these Crumb Knives, I was amazed at how valuable they were. Now I am amazed at how elaborate some of them are.

Ailanthus by Tiffany

The Ailanthus pattern was designed by Burnett Tiffany and introduced by The Tiffany Company in 1899. The pattern became inactive in 1908 and obsolete in 1934. It is the naturalism style. It has been referred to (incorrectly) as "Ailantus" and "Atlantas". It is a very ornate pattern with the design being on the front and back of the handle.

Pastry Servers

In an earlier post, I touched on pastry pieces. Here are more Pastry Servers. Be careful with these pieces. These are all sterling, however a majority of what I found were silverplated. Some Pastry Servers have oval shapes, some leaf shapes.

Florentine by Tiffany

Earlier I mentioned all the different patterns named "Florentine". This is the one by Tiffany. Probably the most exquisite (in my opinion). Designed by Paulding Farnhaum is the Renaissance Revival style. According to Hood in his book, Tiffany Silver Flatware, the patent application was not filed until 1904 and the pattern became inactive sometime before 1934.

Strawberry Forks - Three Tines

Earlier, I did a post on two tine Strawberry Forks.  Here is the three tine variety. The three tine tend to be longer, from 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 inches. The tines are still long and slender but don't have the same elegant illusion as the two tine variety but are still a beautiful piece. Note the pattern Versailles offers a fork with both two and three tines.
