I have no idea for what purpose this fork was made, or w or when it was made. To my eye it appears European in design. The fork measures 10 3/4" in length. The ivory appears to have some considerable age. I don't know if the silverwork is part of the original design, or was a later repair. The four prong fork came into general use in Europe in the early 18th century, so it's unlikely this fork is older than that. Condition is very good. T are a number of age checks in the ivory, but nothing open. And t is one noticeable check through one of the fork tines, but it all seems solid enough for display purposes. The silver is heavily tarnished, but I did not see any reason to polish it. T are no identifying marks anyw on the fork. Sorry to be so vague in the description, but I have been able to find out little about this piece. No dealer or collector I've shown it to has seen anything quite like it.
