Description

Up for bid is a pair of 19

colonial silver tea forks, marked A PALMA. 
The forks are 6 inches long and together weigh 58 grams. The forks have
squared shoulders and downturned fiddle handles with applied fancy shields.  There are monogram traces on the handle
fronts. The forks are marked [A.PALMA] in a rounded rectangle as shown.
