This pattern was designed for the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. "The nations of the world joined to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's discovery. It features a stylized dolphin on the handles. The Columbia dolphin has a dragon-like tongue and the tail wraps around the handles of the silverware. This pattern was possibly 1847 Rogers Bros first attempt to make a large full-line pattern."*
*Per "The Standard Encyclopedia of American Silverplate", written by Frances M. Bones and Lee Roy Fisher.
Currently on Ebay, they are selling a set of 6 forks for $119.
I guess my investment of $5 for all the above pieces was a pretty good deal! :) :)
