Does anyone know of any free on-line appraisal websites for antiques?

My fiance works in construction and recently found an old antique in the rafters of a house he’s renovating into a photography studio. It’s either a butter knife or dessert knife maybe used for cutting cake. It’s from the Oxford Silver Plate Company according to the engraving on the back and it has the inscription Pat.Jan.25.10 on it. I’m assuming this is some kind of patent date. So any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks.
