GENERAL DESCRIPTION
While no part of the design of this fish set, which includes this fish fork and a fish knife (1992.7.10.1), was patented, its eccentric blade and tine shapes were usually used in conjunction with handles designed by John R. Wendt or Bernard D. Beiderhase. As a result, it is believed that this example was produced by either Wendt or Beiderhase, or possibly one of their successor firms, Renziehausen & Co. or Adams & Shaw Co.
