Hi,
Obvious Art- Nouveau design, meaning turn of the 19th century.

Not where I can check my references, but while I've seen this Whiting Mfg. 'Iris' pattern before, don't believe it was a named line pattern - could be as late as circa 1900, but by style, it resembles other circa 1880s Whiting patterns. You don't mention size, but if it's around 5½"- 6½" long, it would be an oyster fork...

yeah the size is around that, so you think it's an oyster fork?
