Soldier's Eating Fork [#136]
: Until recently we believed that this was a single find, dug up in the early twenties by Calver & Bolton who surmised that it was the product of a single ingenious soldier who fashioned it from scrap wire. In the meantime several others have come to the surface at different camp sites, indicating that this fork was quite probably an item issued to the soldiers for their use and therefore probably made by army contractors. Mine are made in the same way as the originals - by hand, using fire and twisting it into a useful utensil.Price: $4.75
Soldier's Fork
: Hand forged in the 18th century manner. The flat steel at one end and the tines formed on the anvil. The typical curved decoration at the top shows again how the blacksmith of the period tried to put a little beauty into even the common things he wrought. See #136 above for pictures of the two forks described here.[#144]: Soldier's Fork
