Meat Skewer

[Red-Coat]

Dang! I was really hoping this would turn out to be a piece of old silver but, after cleaning up, the marks are for plate. Can't find the maker though.



These things were made as skewers to hold joints together when roasting but often saw use as handy letter openers in later times.

Good to see you posting a find. Usually you're edumacating us on others finds.

Nice piece, congrats!
And if you can't figure it out, I doubt if anybody else will!
