Old, Heavy Gorham Strasbourg Full Size Dinner Fork

At 7 5/8" long, this item is a true dinner fork in Gorham's Strasbourg. It is also an old example, with the Gorham lion, anchor, G, Pat. 1897, and Sterling marks. The last feature that sets this apart is its massive weight, 2.1 T. oz. It is without a monogram or monogram removal, and in excellent condition. The tines are even, remain well pointed, and are free of burrs or nicks. The pattern retains good definition. The only signs of wear are surface scratches consistent with age.
