Once again, some examples of the One Tine Butter Pick as I have posted on before, one of the more interesting pieces in every flatware pattern.

Stieff Rose by Kirk Stieff (4 7/8 inches)



Milburn Rose by Westmorland (6  inches)

Long Handle Pickle Fork (8  5/8  inches)

La Rochelle by International

La Rochelle by International was introduced in 1909. The design is a unique and elaborate pattern. The shoulders of the serving pieces are decorated with a pair of leafy boughs. The terminal design is one of a combination of leaves and branches. A flower divides the terminal from the stem.

Small Chipped Beef Fork ( inches)

Abbottsford by International

International introduced Abbottsford in 1907. The pattern is a unique design of a terminal surrounded by leaves with an oval suitable for engraving. The stem is several straight lines that are decorated with 3 cross pieces as if they were bundles being corded together.


Fish Fork (7  inches)




Small Sugar Sifter (5 5/8  inches)

Richmond by Alvin

A second Richmond pattern is that introduced b Alvin in 1929. This design is quite simple with a beaded edge and a pointed terminal with a small star like symbol on it.

Fruit Spoon (5 3/4 inches)



Hollow Handled Knife (9 3/4 inches)




Old Style Pickle Fork (5 3/4 inches)



Bob Bon Spoon (4 3/8 inches)

Richmond by Towle

There are at least 3 Richmond patterns. This is the one by Towle. It was introduced in 1901. While the pattern itself is decorative and attractive with a balanced flourish on the tip of the terminal, double edge around the stem and terminal, and detail at the bottom of the stem, it is nothing special. However, the serving pieces are exquisite. The details on the tine on the butter pick, the shoulder and tines on the beef fork, and the design on the berry spoon (which is an enlargement of the flourish on the tip of the terminal) turn this into a simply beautiful pattern by Towle.
