Hi,

Here is an unusual knife and fork set.



Assayed at Birmingham in 1850 and made in their first year of registation at the Birmingham Assay Office by Joseph Foxall & Co (Joseph Foxall, George Foxall & Charles Perrins) of 52, Lionel Street, Birmingham.



But what was the purpose of this tiny set? They are too large for a doll's house and too small for child's first knife and fork.

Could they possibly be a traveller's sample?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Suggest they are a fruit knife and fork... often these were made as folding items and occasionally can be found on a well known online auction site. Best wishes, Mike.
