If there is an Ice Cream Fork is there also an Ice Cream Spoon? How can I tell whether this is really a Punch Ladle? Who knows the difference between a Luncheon Fork and a Dinner Fork — or Medium Fork, or Salad Fork, or Pastry Fork, or Fish Fork? The American Silver Booklet Identifying Flatware Pieces answers these questions. Piece-by-piece you examine the flatware used to serve and eat the meal. Most pieces are illustrated, using images from the catalogs of Oneida Community Ltd. and the International Silver Company.
In addition, a comprehensive index of Flatware Names and Measurements lists all the pieces described, with alternate names and usual measurements.
All this information is free.
Click on Identifying Flatware Pieces to download it, read it on screen, or print it out. Please share the information with others, but do not sell it or use it for commercial purposes. For a full listing of all booklets available and planned, click on American Silver Booklets.

Nice post, Nancy! I didn’t even know that there were so many forks and spoons! Makes me think of the scene in ‘Pretty Woman’ where the heroine learns about different forks and spoons and how to use them.
