Old Style Ice Cream Fork

As I mentioned earlier in my post on "Ice Cream Things", there is an Ice Cream Fork. Oh, how the Victorians loved their Ice Cream. Here are some examples of the Ice Cream Fork, and yes, it could have been the initial "spork".

Old Style Ice Cream Spoon Part 2

I posted on Old Style Ice Cream Spoons earlier - just another iteration to a piece for a Victorian favorite, ice cream. The "Old Style" tends to be a little smaller, usually less than a 1/2 inch or so than the "Regular" ice cream spoon.
