One possibility is a corn holder, I have them in 1-4 pronged versions, generally they are single pronged.

Yes, thanks. The piece has all the correct marks for Dublin 1823, less the makers mark. All the marks are pretty crisp, if they maker mark was in the middle it would still be there, why there is no mark and what to think or know about that is what has me interested in what others might think or know.

I can't find maker marks anywhere on this piece. Looking for any thoughts people might have.
Thanks.

Have you looked at Baltimore Sterling Silver Company, this could be one of their alternate marks.

That's the only maker I could come up with too, I suppose the makers mark could be rubbed as the top part seems absent, and of course you can't make out the G. The finial doesn't seem right to me, as if might have been a replacement. But then when you take it off you can see its is specifically made...

Trying to determine maker and year. There is no clear duty mark but the marks are pretty worn. I', clueless to the maker but the first letter appears to be a W. Any help would be appreciated.

First, I want to thank everyone who has weighed in, the mystery remains unsolved. The wave edge pattern is one of Tiffany's more popular patterns (not mine), and has been around since 1884. Whereas the Burgundy pattern is from the 1940s. I would also dismiss this item as being a lemon fork based on ...

Thanks for the input. But these forks (set of 12) look nothing like known fish, oyster, or sardine forks in this pattern. I thought of that early on based on the scale pattern between the tines and stem. There is a lot surface area between roots of the fork and the neck of the stem or handle. The op...

I'm not familiar with these marks, I see a rooster, maybe the number 3, then in the other marks two fleur de lis marks, there are two separate markings one on the bottom and one on the edge. I see there are British import marks in the last image, that appear to be for London 1891, by the importer S....

The piece type and quality surely don't match the maker of Poole. I've never seen a piece of their silver in this quality, their goods were of low quality typically. Nothing nearly as nice as this piece. As far as Birks, the quality of the piece matches their better work, but the markings are all wr...

I just picked up a set of 12 of these forks, impulse buy based on the fact that I have never seen anything similar. I know the pattern, its Tiffany wave edge. Thanks for your help.

No matter what anyone might tell you....the USA Jensen products are NOT Jensen products, they are third tier American impostors at best. Value wise we are not supposed to discuss....but really it is like comparing a beautiful Tiffany piece from the 1870s to a Tiffany piece from Italy circa 1980....t...

Well there is zero comparison between GJ Denmark and GJ USA, the USA stuff is mostly borderline garbage in terms of value and respectability.

The mark for Joesph Cook is in my version of Ensko.

Look at Joseph Cook's mark, it seems to be a good match, circa 1785.

Okay, so who might the maker be? I have had dozens of 1700 century British items this is the first with the makers mark in between the hallmarks, is this a phantasy piece or real????

Here is what I have, marks don't look normal, with the makers mark within the hallmarks....I suppose the maker mark could have been struck and then the item could have been hallmarked???

Looks very similar to the mark of Andy Thomas.

Looks like Egyptian hallmarks to me. Folks here will be in the know for sure. My guess is post 1946 (lotus vs cat in middle mark) and 800 grade silver (left mark), the date is the right mark.

Okay, thanks. There is a clear pellet between the N and V, N.V.
