Looks like a Corningware Home Select, based on that finish and the squared off-ish base. The ones made before 1998 had that prominent stamp on the back, later models had it it reversed (the letters were inset, not raised). Unfortunately the line was discontinued in 2009, as the market has been flooded by cheaper imitators and lower-grade steel from other countries. Your model looks more burnished than most, but that's not a surprise if this is a thrift-store cast-off. Something to be aware of, the top bit (the tines and the, uh, scoop?) had a bad habit of flattening out and then breaking over time, so the likelihood of finding replacements, let along a full set, will be difficult. You might be able to find some on eBay or something, going rate should probably be no more than a buck per utensil, but I'd be frankly surprised if they were even that high. Shipping will probably be more. One thing to keep an eye on is that these are, superficially, very similar to Target's Threshold Kayden style, so it may be worthwhile to showroom one of those at your local Target in lieu of scouring sites hoping for orphan matches

Really all fork knowledge is just because you gotta know what's hot in the competitive spoons community

mercenarynuker, are you a flatware wizard? For real, I have a set that's missing a few utensils and I'd like to find them, or even better get a whole other set and double the size.

Generally speaking, it's almost always easier to just get a new set. Like, you COULD go scouring for stuff, but... :effort:

Dude are trolling the thread or what?

Don't listen to this fork fraud. Look at the lines (and the early flare of the handle, putting more weight at the center of mass), this is obviously a Rebacraft design, probably part of Reed & Barton's RDS series of flatware. My gut is telling me it's a RDS9, and it has to be a pretty old one, since by 1998 they had moved production entirely to japan and korea rather than taiwan. Curvature is a little off but that's common with older pieces.

M8, Rebacraft almost always has little design filigree going on, or at least *shapes*. "Straight and plain" was not really in their oeuvre

I can't tell it any clearer than this image about Rebacraft's design aesthetic
