This attractive hand wrought cooking skewer was fashioned from 1/8 inch iron stock and measures approximately 14 ¼ inches long. A classic cooking utensil from the open hearth kitchen of the colonial era with use over open camp fires through the Civil War era; this extra nice example was picked out of an accumulation of hand wrought utensils dating in the earlier to mid 19th century. We emphasize this origin here because of the exceptional condition of this example. Buy with confidence!
