Toasting Fork

In Georgian times a toasting fork was an item in daily use. It was used to toast crumpets or bread for toasted cheese sandwiches in the fireplace. Travel toasting forks would have telescoping handles that could be shortened to make them less unwieldy to transport. They helped many a soldier or traveler to make stale bread more palatable. A toasting fork is mentioned in the Capel Letters.
