Hi All,

This odd item came in a box of watch tools!

Seems to be silver plated? All I can think of is a spear for giant pickled onions!

5″ long; 1 1/8″ across the tines.

Any thoughts? Cheers, Martin

I think it is either a comb, or more likely a meat fork.

If that fork is silver and hall marked it’s worth a pound or two See here

If its silver plated it won’t have hall marks they are reserved for solid silver.

Apparently it is a bread fork, several on EBay? Soon to be another one 🙂
