A toasting fork? Stick a piece of bread on , go make a tea come back turn the bread over, go get the butter -and there you go.

Looks like an all purpose Last for cobbling shoes and boots ?

[Mamyalynne]

Size? Material?

[Bobbisox1]

The points could be for the eyelets of the boots, no so much cobbled but the making of?

[Patsy33]

I wonder if it's for a joint of meat? Something to do with meat, anyway..

[Zacs-Master]

About 18” long. Wood and iron.

[Zacs-Master]

I don’t think it’s a toasting fork. The prongs would make too large holes in the bread.

[sanmac]

I'd go along with the toasting-fork suggestion. Obviously, metal and wood.

Marshmallow Toaster ?

[Prudie]

I'd doubt this was for toasting either, the wood would be too near the heat.

[sanmac]

Zacs, I wouldn't think that you would impale the bread as far back as the bar.

[Barsel]

I don't know what it is but I like the idea of it being a toasting fork. I'm sure some of you remember using metal toasting forks and your hands would get red hot so I like the idea of putting it on something like this.

[bookbinder]

I think that it's a roasting fork, for meat.

[Bobbisox1]

Am I the only one that’s sees boots n shoes here ?? Haha

[gness]

Try googling 18th century iron toasters and you'll find slightly similar items.

[mallyh]

doing jacket potatoes on a fire?

[Chipchopper]

For winding yarns of wool ?

[sanmac]

On the other hand, it could be one of Sqads blood-letting instruments...I wonder how he is doing.

[retrocop]

Possibly a crude version of what you are enquiring about.
