looks like v date letter, 1793 george 111. dont know about value though.
yeah i dont quite understand whats above the v or is it a makers mark and not a date letter
Would be worth a small fortune if you had the knife and spoon...
Sorry can't help with the dating or value. Looks old enough.
i dont know - it wouldnt come cheap - youd have to FORK a few bob out for a specimen of that pedigree.- nice find
Not a common mark for sure but Sheffield used a similar one for 1798 and 1819,very nice.
Beutifull speciman.....spose some might say, Forking good findNice save
cheers everyone-think you have hit the nail on the head there ossie-thanks!Originally Posted by ossie

I have had too much wine tonight as I thought the title was for a oldies dating site.
Two main marks are missing namely the year mark and the Assay mark.
Marks from left are sponsors mark; Sovereigns head mark George III used from 1786 till 1821, silver standard.
With the absense of the year and assay mark I would suspect that it is a foreign import with a sponsors mark.
Value a few pounds as only a single item.

Hi Jon,
What seems to be confusing is the absense of marks on the fork. Yes the assay mark for Sheffield is V in rounded losenge for 1798 or square for 1819 but there is no mark for Sheffield showing. It could also be Chester 1817, Birmingham 1793 or 1819.
Its there no assay mark on the fork anywhere as this would clinch it? Looking for Crown, Anchor or Shield for Sheffield, Birmingham and Chester respectivly.
Slàinte,
