Pleas identify the manufacturer based on three images

[Richard7]

I would be most grateful to learn who the manufacturer is. What I can read says "STERLING PAT. 1926". There are also 3 pictorial images. If I had to guess I would say the first is a lion on his haunches facing right, the second an anchor, and the third a pair of initials (the second maybe a "B"). I am also guessing that this a "London" hallmark. Thank you for your help.

Hi Richard7,

The three pictorial marks make up the makers mark for the US company, Gorham of Providence, Rhode Island.

Please see;

I believe the pattern of your fork is called" Princess Patricia" and was produced from 1926 until 1991.

Cheers,
Steve
