The following is from an auction catalog.

Is this a Roast Fork or might this be a typeo and should be listed as a Toast Fork?

If it is a Roast Fork how was it used?

The pierced and engraved three tine fork attached to a turned spindle form handle; hallmarked to the reverse of throat and the silver terminal ring

Length: 49cm (19.3 inches)

I'd put my money on it being a toasting fork. Hence insulating turned timber handle.
