WM ROGERS BELOVED LARGE MEAT SERVING FORK 8 5/8" 

UP FOR AUCTION IS 1 SILVER PLATED MEAT SERVING FORK IN THE "BELOVED" PATTERN MADE BY WM ROGERS IN 1940. IT IS IN OKAY VINTAGE CONDITION WITH NO PIT MARKS BUT IT SHOWS USE AND STORAGE MARKS THAT WILL NOT POLISH OUT AND HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF HEAL WEAR.(PLEASE SEE CLOSE UP PHOTO). THE FORK TINES HAVE TINY MICROSCOPIC CHIPS IN THE PLATING TOWARDS THE ENDS AND ONE OF THE TINES IS JUST VERY SLIGHTLY BENT. OVERALL, THESE IMPERFECTIONS ARE NOT THAT NOTICEABLE, BUT THEY ARE THERE NONETHELESS AND MUST BE NOTED.  THIS SERVING PIECE IS PERFECTLY USABLE, IT'S JUST NOT PERFECT ANYMORE. IT'S A NICE BIG FORK AND EVERY SET NEEDS SEVERAL OF THESE. THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR SERVING SALAD WITH ACIDIC DRESSING GUILT FREE!  FROM FAR AWAY IT'S STILL PLENTY SHINY. IT MEASURES 8 5/8" AND HAS THE EAGLE WM ROGERS STAR HALLMARK.
