Tudor Plate Oneida Queen Bess II Dinner Forks Lot of 10 Silverplate

This is a lot of 10 Tudor Plate Oneida Community dinner forks in the Queen Bess pattern, commonly called Queen Bess II, introduced in 1946.

Each fork measures approximately 7 1/2 inches long. The silverplate shows tarnishing, surface wear, and light scratching from use, but the forks remain solid with no dishwasher bites noted.

The floral handle detail gives this matching fork lot a traditional table setting look that works for replacement flatware, holiday meals, or an existing Tudor Plate collection.

Collector's Notes

The TUDOR PLATE ONEIDA COMMUNITY stamp gives this group a clear maker identity for matching replacement flatware.

A lot of 10 works well for someone filling out an existing table service without buying a full mixed flatware set.

Each fork is the same 7 1/2 inch dinner size, and all 10 pieces shown are included in the sale.

The tarnish is left visible in the photos so you can judge the finish before deciding how much polishing you prefer.
