Aah, the Cold Meat Fork, a fork of many uses. This fork is usually eight to ten inches long and is intended for cold meats such as ham, roast beef or turkey. It can also be used for cheeses, hot meats like pork or lamb chops, waffles and it is quite handy for grilled veggies. If you do not have a salad serving set, you can pair it with a tablespoon and use them for lettuce. This particular fork is most likely from the 1920's - 1930's. It is silver plate.
This Pierced Casserole spoon is a piece from my mother's collection. I remember it having a companion Meat Fork but it seems to have been misplaced. Between the handle and the bowl of the spoon is a bolster which is a decorative accent but also hides the connection between the two pieces of the spoon.
This piece is a Pie Server. I own many and have found many uses. I keep one handy in my everyday silver drawer at home. Obviously the shape is perfect for a wedge of pie. It is also good for cake slices that have been previously cut, small individual iced cakes, soft cookies and in a pinch you can even use one for sliced tomatoes.
