✅ SOLVED flatware pattern id?

[Older The Better]

Found this near my house, ive been half heartedly searching for this pattern and a date with not much luck. ill try throwing it out to you guys maybe someone will recognize it. its pressed steel nothing special (I dont think), I unfolded it and thought why not see how something rusty would look cleaned then spray painted with a metallic silver... in a way it worked great but doing that on something old and historically valuable feels wrong ill stick to apple cider vinegar and rem oil.... its either a very large table spoon or fairly small serving spoon fyi

Stylistically your fork dates to the Edwardian Era or slightly later into the Arts and Crafts Period.

"The Edwardian era or Edwardian period of British history covers the brief reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910, and is sometimes extended in both directions to capture long-term trends from the 1890s to the First World War. The death of Queen Victoria in January 1901 marked the end of the Victorian era. The Edwardian period was indeed a “Gilded Age,” both in England and America. Yet social relationships were strictly defined, and interactions among and between the classes were governed by a series of complex and rigid rules–what we would call “manners”. The etiquette of the Edwardian era was second nature to the people who lived during this period, but to us it’s the fascinating behavior of a unique cultural moment. Edwardians never, for example, shook hands. Women never removed their gloves in public. Men removed their hats in the presence of a superior, but not for a member of the lower classes. An Edwardian hostess carefully predetermined every aspect of a dinner party, not only the menu and seating arrangements, but even topics of conversation during the meal."

Due to the fact that your fork is made of stamped steel, likely means it never had a 'finish' on it.
I would consider tumbling it and displaying it as a testament to the history of your property.
