Sample fork in plain Windsor pattern. No maker marks. Backstamped in block letters “CRATER LAKE”. We’ve had some samples relating to Yellowstone and Yosemite was mentioned. The Crater Lake Company was running the tent camping operations from early on and was apparently providing improved meal services as early as 1907. Beside the famous lodge, built later, there were reportedly a cafeteria and a dormitory/mess hall in service also. So far, there is no way to date this flatware nor determine where it was used, if it was, within the park perimeters.

Here’s the thread with Yellowstone/Yosemite relating to supplier Dohrmann: viewtopic.php?p=193068&hilit=yellowstone#p193068

They also operated in Portland, so Crater Lake might be a possible client.

From RWCN idwiki 2..Probably the oldest known “Crater Lake National Park” china pattern manufactured by John Maddock & Sons England in the 1914-1915 era when the first levels of the rim lodge were being constructed: https://rwcn-idwiki-2.restaurantwarecol ... al-park-2/

At that time, Dohrmann was a regular supplier of Maddock wares in western states. It would not be inconcievable that they may have handled this order, as well as the silver and glass. (But there were others locally based in Portland and Seattle.)
