[QUOTE="Thrifster, post: 400074, member: 6264"]This is a Sterling Silver fork I purchased at the thrift store a while ago. It measures about 7" in length and on the front I think it says "Pister Bonaventure" or "Lister Bonaventure". On the back is a Lion facing right, an Anchor and I think the letter "G" for Gorham. It also says Sterling and has the letter "E" in a Diamond shape. When I look the sterling marks up it says it's Gorham for the year 1872. I think it is the Gorham letter "G" for that for that time period. I tried to find the name Lister and Pister Bonaventure that is on the fork without any success. Does anyone know if that name is a place or person or something else? Thanks in advance for any info.
