Great collection to add character to any room! The largest is a hand forged antique fork with three inward facing prongs on either side of a flat piece and an unusual threaded pole attachment.. The medium sized is an antique hand-forged with four dark metal hand forged prongs and a "stake" pole attachment and the smallest one is vintage with five sharp tines and a partially blue pole cover attachment with a small hole for a screw. Found on Cape Cod. No makers marks, likely made in the USA.

The largest fork measures 7" x x 13 1/2" h x 3/4" deep at its deepest; the medium, 4 3/4" w x 8 1/2" h x 1/2" d; the smallest 3" w x 7 1/8" h x 1 1/8" d (likely holds a 1" pole).

Condition is consistent with age and use. All three are in excellent condition with some surface rust. The smallest has residual blue paint on the part that attaches to the handle. less
