In this video presentation we have the rare opportunity to examine and discuss a mixture of early American eating utensils, both found in the wild as relics and passed down for centuries as antiques. These specimens date approximately from 1780 to 1840. We also consult archeological publications on similar examples. Special thanks to Robert Eric French for making the acquisition of a number of these examples possible.
