<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedHillRascal, post: 9466469, member: 68394&quot;]I have this fork which has maker&#039;s marks from two different silversmiths. I am confused as to why this is.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fork was engraved at a later date, so could one mark be for the maker of the fork, and the other for the engraver? Why would they have two different companies on one fork?</p><p><br /></p><p>A maker&#039;s mark is &quot;Mitchell &amp; Tyler&quot; of Richmond, VA. They partnered between <b>1845-1866</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other marker&#039;s mark is &quot;G&amp;S&quot; in an oval above &quot;1 / 52 / 8&quot; in a diamond. The G&amp;S is for William Gale &amp; Son. who existed between <b>1853-1859</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]441812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]441813[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
