Found this really old fork today!*?

[orion024]

I (actually my Bounty Hunter 505) found this fork while out hunting today, it is from the R. Wallace Co. from Connecticut that was founded in 1835, It is made of German Silver which is Silver-Plated Nickel! It has a great deal of wear and tear on it! Trying to find age of fork, so far narrowed it down from 1835 to 1891! The A1 after the makers mark is the plating process used on it! It's really hard to find the age because of the variant pattern, it's either Wallace 2 or Rogers Variant 2 pattern, if anybody has any idea of the age of this fork, post a reply please?

Have you considered FAXing the image of your fork to Replacements, LTD and let them ID the pattern?
