Sample of Kuchenheber or Tortenheber with mid-century (?) version of the Bruckmann Eagle. A modernist design that seems to fall somewhere between the 1930’s and 1960’s. Scanning the flatware model samples presented on Silvercollection.it as a general guide, could be a Lock, Dittert, or Quattlander pattern such as Models 730, 740, 752 (Party), or 767 (Carrera)? Then again, maybe not even related to a flatware group? Surface areas show the faint traces of a hammered metals design but it does not stand out at all points..making me think this is later than a true Craftsman-era piece. TIA

Hello, this is a no-line pattern from the early 1930ies (possibly as early as 1928). designer is not known, my gut feeling: J.M. Lock. Beware: the shape of the eagle rarely helps to identify the date of production, this is just wishful thinking by dealers and collectors. Regards, Bahner.

Thank you mucho, as always, Bahner! At least it’s not a bricklayer’s trowel.
