I believe this is a dinner fork from the maiden voyage of the Bremen(1) to NY. For some reason I can't get photos to post here but they are on my photobucket account. Here is the link to pictures of the fork.

Any info would be great. I'd love to know who made the fork also.

Thanks,
Jess

Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

There are three Silver Certificates. All three are 1957, two of them are 1957 series b, and the plain 1957 has a asterisk before the print code ( *78084626 A, instead of X 75547597 A ) also not sure if this helps but the U.S Treasury stamps are blue, not green. The Bank of Chester $5 bank note is signed in hand writing with a date of July,10 1856.On the left hand is a picture of Jackson, on the right a picture of Washington, There is multiple signature on the note towards the bottom left and the bottom right. The 25 cent note says fractional currency with a picture of washington to the left. On top is a stamp that says " Act Approved March something 1803 " ( its hard to read the handwriting) in the backround is a big U.S Treasury seal in Red. There is a signature towards the bottom left that appears as a " John Allison ", not sure if that was the treasures sig at the time. I have never seen anything like this before
