RARE 17thc English or Dutch hand forged brass salamander hearth cooking spatula

Description

RARE 17th century English or Dutch hand forged brass salamander.
RARE 17th century English or Dutch hand forged brass salamander. Used as a hearth cooking spatula when needed, the salamander was primarily a browning iron holding a dish above the flame for the final touch or heated to red hot in the fire, then held above a roast or a custard to brown the surface. By one estimate, for every 1,000 peels or spatulas, perhaps one salamander survives. Measures 12.75 inches long and 3.5 inches across its flat serving end.

Hello
, I would be happy to arrange shipping for you
.
I put local pick up in the items description because Ebay always seems to put to low a price for shipping valuable or fragile items that have to be shipped and properly insured, like this item. We use several different movers that only ship antiques, UPS and the USPO for smaller items, whatever they charge is what you would pay. But yes, I would be happy to take care of that after I get their shipping quote.
Yours truly, Thomas Perry
