Has Anyone Ever Seen One of These? - 1

Hi,

I've never come across one of these and wondered if anyone can share an example of such a piece with us?


Quentell Automatic Spoon Co. - Cincinnati - 1894

It was invented and patented by Carl A. Quentell of New Orleans, and as can be seen from the advertisement, they were made in Sterling.

Anybody got one?
