A steel fork
A steel three-pronged fork bound and riveted into a rectangular handle.
This comes from a collection associated with Admiral Sir George Back (1796-1878) during one of the three Canadian overland expeditions that he participated in or, in the case of the 1833-1835 expedition, led. However, we do not know if it was used by him on any of them, or even on his last Arctic expedition in HMS Terror (1813) between 1836 and 1837.
