Fork, silver dinner, 19th Century

Fork, silver dinner, 19th Century

Silver fork engraved with the name "Hutter" on the handle. The back hallmark reads "Watts & Ryland X12L" The "X12L" most likely refers to the fact that the fork is silver plated. Watts and Ryland were local Lynchburg jewelers and silversmiths until 1891 when they became Watts, Ryland, and Rankin, so this fork was made prior to 1891.
