International Silver Silver Belle cold meat serving forks are offered here as a matching set of nine silverplate forks in the 1940 pattern.
All nine forks are in good vintage condition. They are not bent and show no gouges or reported dishwasher damage. Minor tarnishing and light surface wear are present from normal use and age.
The 9 inch length identifies these as larger serving forks rather than standard dinner forks. Their long tapered handles and raised floral detail make them useful for serving sliced meats, cheeses, appetizers, or other foods from a shared platter.
