This matched set of four antique fiddle style forks was purchased in England over 20 years ago. The seller at the time labelled them as threaded oval pattern 1840 but my own research suggests they are threaded pattern from 1847 (see photo). I am not a silver/antiques expert so please make sure you look carefully at the photos and come to your own conclusions about these forks.

As you can see from the photos they are in very good condition for their age. There is a small amount of tarnishing but that could easily be cleaned off with polish.

There is a letter B above the Henry Hebbard makers mark but I do not know what this stands for.

I assume that Young & Leavitt is the company that Hebbard made these for.

Each fork is monogrammed with 3 letters. The fancy script is hard to read but it may be RYC? - please look carefully at the photo and decide for yourself.

Shipping will be priority Mail with additional insurance to cover the final value of the purchase which is why it is higher than normal shipping for priority flat rate envelope.
