<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 9590666, member: 8363"]I found this large fork that is marked Sterling in the Company name (I think). There is a mark in a diamond before and a Co. after the Sterling. It has other information such as 1000 below and a 925 above. All this is very confusing. The front is very elaborate with a big flower and draping. The fork itself is 8 1/2 inches long and wide, so not an eating fork unless you are a giant. </p><p><br /></p><p>The two spoons are interesting because someone has etched something on the back in a European language with the date of 1928.
