Around the turn of the 20th century, Gorham produced an array of specialty silver stand alone items grouped together in what is known as H series pieces.
This 5 1/8" long, .45 T. oz., is model number "H239" from that series.
A lemon fork, it has the requisite three, narrow and splayed, tines that define its function.
Evidencing the precision of finish and substance of H series items, it has an open work handle that is reminiscent of the Chippendale style, rendered in an Arts & Crafts manner, consistent with its date.
Never monogrammed, this remains in original condition, absent any signs of wear or use, and possessing a bright, even, finish.
Marks are Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem, "Sterling," and "H239."
See Old Friends item 5147f for a companion H series lemon fork.
