6 Antique "1857 ASCO" pastrypie forks - "Lawrence&qu

Up for sale are six (6) antique 1857 ASCO (American Silver Company - now International Silver Company since 1935) pastry pie forks from their 1901 Lawrence Pattern.These forks has four tines with the first and second tine connected together and beveled. It is typically designed so that it can be used with the right hand while the left hand holds the plate. It therefore has the left side widened to be used like a knife to cut the pastry pie when pressed down on the plate. The 1857 ASCO Hallmark is on the upper back of each fork (see picture). Just below this hallmark is the number 6 - this may be a pattern number. Also on the back of each fork is the following PAT APRIL 9 1901 - I am thinking this may be the date of manufacture. All of these pieces have minor scratches spotting and wear. It also should be noted these forks are nice and heavy. The selling price of 55.00 (cash) is firm. Please bring the exact amount since I may not be able to make change. If interested please call me between 9AM - 9PM to schedule a time to meet at a public place in Berlin.
