Looking for the maker of this pickle fork, Birmingham 1838, mark 'JC'. Could it be Joseph Carnell?
Thanks

Carnall's mark was JC so he is certainly a possibility. Another candidate is James Collins who seems to have been active for a longer period and, in particular, was still active in 1838.

Thanks for the feedback Phil.
I just found an identical fork attributed to James Collins from 1848 so he might be the best bet.
