Hi guys, first time post here. But seeing this thread I had to do a bit of digging around on the web. Went to the Fitzwilliam Museum and found this page.

Hopefully that link works.

if not go onto the Fitzwilliam Museum and search for a 'tool/implement' as the category and then 'compund utensil' as the name.

Hope this helps Happy

Cool, thanks for doing the homework for us Adam. It shows it from other angles as well. What a fascinating gadget.

From the Fitzwilliam site:
Quote:
Description: eating implement, folding, with three-pronged fork, spatula, pick, spike and knife.

OK, so I can see the fork, the knife, and the spike. Is the spatula that comma-shaped thing or the spoon? Or is the comma thingy the pick? If so, that still leaves the question open as to what that middle thing is.
