This is a solid vintage Reed & Barton Francis I sterling silver cold meat serving fork with the old mark. The hallmark features the eagle, an’R’, and a lion, which are the old mark, and are considered better than the newer ones. The pattern has been discontinued. This Renaissance-inspired flatware pattern has an ornate handle that is decorated with voluminous scrollwork, leaves, blossoms, and fruit. The serving fork measures 7 7/8 inches long. It has been used, and is in excellent condition.
