Large for a sardine fork, this piece measures 6 3/8" long and weighs 1.17 T. oz.
Made by Durgin, whose "D" emblem and the word "Sterling," appear on the backside, the pattern is Old Standish, issued in 1901, to be distinguished from New Standish introduced in 1905.
It is a clean pattern with a double lined border and tipt end set on a rounded handle.
There is a script "M" monogram engraved on the front.
The gold wash server follows after a style favored by Durgin. It has five tines, the outer two of which are notched, while the heel has scalloped shoulders with small, pointed wings.
In choice estate condition, this is without wear or damage, has even, pointed tines free of burrs or bends, and shows a bright finish.
