I was metal detecting a 1924 home in North East Ohio and found this lovely fork sleeping in the dirt!

It is pretty plain but is a big honking piece of metal and has a B in it. The people that built the house had the last name of Berkshire. Thank you for looking and I hope we can solve it. I looked at all the photos listed for American hallmarks and I thought I was going to surely find it under the R's. Sadly no. It looked close to one that made some shakers and hammered bowls but just not the same. Enjoy the photos!

Thanks!
I thought it was that, but was unsure due to the slight difference in mark and the R at the end. What do you think that R is?
