Vintage Bread or Toast Serving Spring Loaded Forks
$62 Negotiable
Postage is extra. Cash if picking up locally in Canberra. Now these forks are unusual forerunners of the plastic gloves worn by food handlers, and especially in these days of Covid-19. Two of these forks would have been used by servants in Victorian English households as a means of serving bread or toast at the dining tables. Those 2 are silverplated and are spring loaded so that the piece of bread or toast stabbed by the fork tines can be lifted off a serving tray then pushed off the fork with the sliver of metal across the tines being pushed to the tips of the tines. They are used like you would use your thumb to push a syringe. See photos. These are about 17cm long. The other spring loaded fork is stainless steel and was produced in the 1960s. This one is 16cm long. These are truly decadent pieces of old kitchenalia. Make me an offer for one or all. Note that the biggest bread server would be $60 by itself.

- 5 Vintage Small Silverplated Meat Serving ForksCollection of 5 vintage/perhaps antique meat server forks. Most are silverplated although the silver has worn off the oldest 5-pronged one. That one was made by Mappin and Webb, silversmiths based in both London and Sheffield between about 1880 and 1920. Unfortunately, it has a crack in the faux bone-handle on one side too. The longest one with the pinkish faux bone-handle is about 175mm long and the shortest (all metal) is 140mm long. Postage is not included in price.
