    Description

    ABOUT:
    Very large 8 1/8 inch dinner fork by Fritz S. Heimburger of Copenhagen, Denmark with large scale designed handle depicting mistletoe.  I acquired this as part of a set from a shop in Denmark. Production date on the hallmark is 1921, but they have a very mid-century modern style as many Danish designs do.
    It has the three tower mark for the sterling silver standard in Denmark indicating at least .826 solid silver.  It also has the assay master mark for Christian F. Heise who was the assay master from 1904-1932.
    I absolutely love the figural mistletoe design.  Very eye catching and could work with a traditional Christmas table, being one of the colors of the season, or with a mid-century or modern style table as well.
    NO MONOGRAMS
    on it.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    It measures 8 1/8 inches in
    length and weighs 55 grams.
    MARKS:
    Punched three times, with the tower mark for the silver with date, Heimburger mark for the maker and CFH for the assay master.
    IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
    Please note that all my pieces are in estate condition.  I see some cloudy areas, surface wear and scratches from use and polish over the years.  A few utensil scratches.  A few stubborn tarnish spots. Nice patina to make the raised mistletoe designs stand out.  No deep pin dings or bends. It is still perfectly straight and a sturdy piece with heavy hand feel.
    But Please note this piece is not in mint condition.
    Has been lightly hand polished and could have some tarnish removed further, but I like to leave patina so the high relief designs really stand out so I will leave the rest to the buyer.
    I have many more pieces of sterling listed so please see my other auctions and create a set!
    SHIPPING:
    I ship internationally using the Global Shipping Program and due to the high cost of shipping, I don't allow returns so please see photos and condition notes closely!
    I dearly love, collect, use and sell antique American sterling silver flatware and housewares including Tiffany and Co., Gorham, Durgin, Shiebler and more!
