Featured Alvin Sterling Flatware, use?

Hi Everyone,

I managed a few small items today. Both are Alvin Sterling "Southern Charm" flatware. My question, is what would these be used for? My first thought for the spoon was for butter, but I'm clueless for the fork:

 

a butter pat server and pickle fork.

& now I'm hungry.............

 

Jelly server and lemon fork.

Cheryl is correct.

Yes she is. And just in case, the "jelly" referred to is things like jellied cranberry sauce (the kind that comes in a can - Yuck.)

 

Thank you Cheryl! I didn’t think about jellied items that’s for sure! And just how do you use a lemon fork? Is it just to grab hold of a lemon wedge for a drink?

 

well, i tried..

 

Hi komokwa, or were you just 'dancing" around the subject with those gorgeous new shoes?

 

Well....no...more like 'clicking' around and this ( left ) came up as a butter pat spoon...kinda looks the same...no ?

and those silly forks....are mislabeled a lot....



but several show up as pickle forks ...so I went with that !

Sure looks like I was in error.........but that's cool......
only Walter is perfect here 100% of the tine......

 

"came up as" where? on ebay? You should know better.

Using the Utensil section of sterlingflatwarefashions is a much smarter move.

Not the fork though....

 

Guess...I don't always know better'n that..!! EH ??

 

Ah. Those darned southerners. That's probably what the owner told them. In fact, until today I don't believe I've ever seen a jelly server referred to as a "butter pat spoon." Maybe the family used it for that purpose instead of getting a proper master butter knife.

There was really nothing to "forgive." We all learned something today.

 

I don't need to forgive at all. When you first wrote what it was I thought "i'm going to go eat some mini pickles with this mini fork!" I just appreciate peoples willingness to help on this site.
