Never come across a toasting fork such as this before, it has a ball joint at the fork end that allows you hold whatever you are toasting over the fire at a better angle, why are they all not still like this I wonder,
As you can tell by the dark patina on the back unpolished side of the topper it's a real antique piece, I have dated it as Victorian but it may be earlier as the Uncle Tom story dates back to 1794
One certainty is its unusual and would make a novel item beside any open fire side
Measures 19.5 inches long
