Isn't this the sweetest pattern?! So elegant, yet unpretentious.
And the name...simply romantic...
By 1847 Rogers Bros. I've been doing some research on silver and it appears that this isn't sterling, but inlaid silver (indicated by the IS) which is silver over another stronger metal. Not as valuable, but then ~ I treasure mine for the fact that it's from family. I am also under the impression that this particular set was manufactured (or at least first introduced) in 1937.
I found some other small forks of a different pattern called Parkway in the silver chest. They are just darling, too, I think.
What have we here!? The poor, unsuspecting soul who is served soup with this utensil will be quite disgusted...till they realize he's only plastic. =)

Good Grief!Girl! It's even polished!
I remember the spoon with the fly ~ it's even funnier to think Dottie kept it with the rest of the 'good' silver! :~D
