<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 1797674, member: 111&quot;]A lemon fork would be small, a lettuce fork much larger with a long handle - no size is&nbsp; given, but it looks to me more like a place fork, maybe luncheon or dinner, tines bent fairly recently to form what is usually called a &#039;baked potato fork&#039; - they were factory produced by a few U.S. firms in the early 20th century by modifying place forks, as shown in the link below, either the two outer tines removed and center tines splayed out, or the two center tines removed and the outer tines twisted with tips curved out, both designs intended to pierce the potato without breaking it, the splaying or twists intended to keep it from slipping off the fork.&nbsp; Despite one like this also being shown on the link below, the tines being awkwardly bent outward is not anything that would have been factory done, though Tiffany did produce a similar serving fork with four slender tines, almost certainly also a modified place fork, but the tines curved gently outward and the shoulders of the fork decorative - though those are often called baked potato forks, they might have actually been sold as something else (my copy of &#039;Tiffany Silver Flatware&#039; is packed away at the moment and can&#039;t recall if this form was addressed)...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Utensils/ServB1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Utensils/ServB1.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.sterlingflatwarefashions.com/Utensils/ServB1.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]240408[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Silver dealers like replacements and others also currently do modifications:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]240424[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tiffany 8&quot; dinner fork:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]240415[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tiffany 8&quot; serving fork:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]240416[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
