I was working at a house built in 1915. The fork is silver plated.Wm.A Rogers Oneida ltd.1947,1950s wheats. Both memorials are 1971. I only found 9 targets. It was a small yard. I was hoping for some silver coins. For how old the house is.

Cool find.

Your fork is Meadowbrook / Heather pattern, which was designed in 1936. The Oneida Community had owned the Wm A. Rogers company since 1881 and changed name to Oneida Ltd. on flatware (co-branded with Wm. A. Rogers Ltd.) in 1935.

It's only 4 inches long. I thought it is a baby fork. I have a couple baby spoons that are the same size.
 
A lot of small forks were salad forks. Could you put a full size fork next to it and take there pictures ?
