This 8-1/2 inch elegant antique silverplate cold meat fork was introduced in 1909 by Holmes & Edwards, which was part of the International Silver family. The pattern is American Beauty, featuring blooming roses at the handle tip and center. Rosebuds, roses, and leaves are embossed below the tines. There are some light marks from use and storage to the tines (far less than you'd expect for the fork's age). No plate loss.
