I have never seen a knife like this, so not sure where to start, but my guess would be a cheese knife? Is that correct?

Also, if anyone could tell me the maker, I would appreciate it. It looks to be Birmingham, but cannot identify the pattern?

Thanks in advance. (The letter is a Cap. "G" next to a lion and an anchor.

Please see: Gorham Marks & Date Codes You don't mention size, but if fairly large, most likely an ice cream knife...

Hi Cheryl - Thank you. I looks like it's Gorham late 1800's - As far as size, it's about 10", so not sure if that's too large to be an ice cream server?
