Frequent guests of our little website will know that I'm fond of gushing about what an exceptional job the Durgin Corporation did in recreating New Hampshire's natural flora with solid silver. These Cat Tails, with their "fuzzy" flower heads, are perhaps the prime example of that work.
Finally we will mention that although these seafood forks were often sold in sets of twelve, most of these sets have been broken up in the 125 some-odd years since they were first purchased. It is a pleasure to offer a complete one.
