F. Smith Newport Shell Long Ster. Olive or Pickle Fork

At 8", this solid sterling silver pickle or olive fork is exceptionally long. It is also an unusual form, with three pointed tines, the center one of which extends beyond the other two. The pattern is Newport Shell by Frank Smith. This is a heavy weight pattern, which this is, in spite of its slender form. There is no monogram or removal. The condition is very good. There is no polishing wear, only slight surface scratches consistent with its age. Marks are the Frank Smith emblem, Sterling, and Patented.
