Description: This sterling silver large pierced cold meat serving fork is Reed & Barton's elegant Francis I pattern, introduced in 1907; this piece is elegantly decorated with a Renaissance inspired pattern incorporating scrollwork, leaves, blossoms, and fruit. The fork measures approximately 9 inches with the earlier 1907 Reed & Barton eagle, R, lion, and sterling stamps on the underside of the handle. The fork is in good vintage condition with some minor scratches as expected of a sterling flatware item of the age. This lovely vintage piece will be the exact item shown, so please review pictures carefully for further information on condition, and check our other listings for additional Reed & Barton silverware in the Francis I pattern. Attention eBay Buyers:I do my best to accurately describe items listed for sale. Any chips, cracks, tears, stains or other noticeable damage will be listed in the description. If no damages or defects are listed above, it is because I didn't see any and the item is in very good condition. Please look carefully at the photos, as they are considered to be part of the description! Many of the items I list are from estate, household, and yard sales and are priced low accordingly, but occasionally a flaw or defect may be overlooked or damage may occur during shipping. Some items may not have been tested to make sure they work properly. I try to note that in the description. Feel free to ask for more information prior to bidding, and I will answer to the best of my ability. If you are not 100% satisfied, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to resolve the problem.Payment:Payment to confirmed PayPal addresses only, please; no exceptions. Payment is due within 3 days of the close of the auction. Payment later than that will interfere with our shipping schedule and may result in your package not being shipped until the next batch. Florida residents, add 7% sales tax or a valid 2022 Florida State Resale certificate. Shipping: The shipping cost is shown in the shipping section of the listing. This is the shipping cost you are asked to pay. All prices are based on ACTUAL USPS rates and do not include a handling charge. Sometimes, depending on your location, Priority Mail is feasible at the amount paid, in which case your item will be shipped that way. If you feel the shipping charge is too high, contact me prior to bidding, and I may be able to make an adjustment. If you would like your item shipped by another method (UPS, FedEx, etc), contact me and I will try to accommodate your request. We are happy to combine items to reduce shipping when it doesn't compromise the safety of the items being shipped. Please note that some heavier items may require additional shipping costs west of the Mississippi River; please contact me for a revised shipping quote.Handling:Each item is carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival at its destination. With the cost of boxes, bubble wrap, peanuts, tape, etc., I often spend more on shipping/handling than the buyer is charged. I usually ship within two business days of the close of auction. I will notify you if it will run later than that for any reason.
