    Ok-the fun back story on this item is that I bought it for 25 cents, 40 years ago at a thrift shop in Albany NY from a bin of old cutlery. Really cool old accordioning meat fork about 11 inches long. Have sent pics of it to various experts. Some say German, some say Dutch. No one has much info. Anyone have one like it or thoughts?

    It pushed the meat off the tines and didn't go past the end of the tines.

    It has been suggested to me that this would have been useful in a boarding house, with the landlady parceling out the roast.
