Four forks and two knives. These utensils are likely saved from a house fire in 1928. The first knife is a wood handled steak knife, this knife has "Steak Knife" engraved into the side of it, but is no longer sharp enough to be used to cut anything. The second knife is a yellow plastic handled steak knife with no engravings on it. The first fork is a long wood handled three-pronged with the words "Chadwick stainless Taiwan." The second for is a wood handled, dark stained three pronged fork, this fork has no engravings. The third fork is a wood handled three pronged fork, this fork has no engravings on it. The last fork is a cast iron fork with the brand logo JR&CO on it. JR&CO brand made utensils back in the 1800's, which is probably when this fork was made. *Three Pronged forks were often used to pick the meats out of seafood. [show more]
