Description
Fiddle Thread revives an old English and early American flatware form, and Frank Smith introduced its sterling version in 1902. The handle widens into a fiddle shape at the top, and a raised thread line follows its outline. The plain center leaves plenty of room for a monogram. Many makers produced fiddle thread designs over two centuries, so confirm the Frank Smith mark on the back before you catalog a piece under this pattern.
