Mid-to-late 19th-century vintage kitchen utility fork, 12" in. A classic four-tine forged carbon steel or iron head showing an excellent authentic dark patina and light historical pitting.
Handle is a soft and smooth, rounded turned wooden grip secured tightly with a traditional metal ferrule collar. A thick, ergonomically turned wooden handle with a substantial heft and a very comfortable, natural grip in the hand.
The heavy wood shank has an excellent balanced weight and a sturdy feel, making it much more robust than standard flat cutlery.
Rugged design is highly characteristic of American Civil War camp gear and late Victorian utility cutlery. Excellent addition to any primitive kitchen display, historical re-enactment kit, or antique utensil collection.
Good antique condition with tight construction. The wood handle is stable with splits that have been smoothed over time. Metal has natural patina, oxidation, and age-related wear as pictured. Please review photos for details.
