Kitchen Skewers & Holder

Nailed to the mantel or wall next to the fireplace these skewers & holder where common in colonial & pioneer kitchens. When cooking over an open fire in a fireplace this provided a tidy way to keep all the skewers needed for cooking right at hand.
The design is based on an 18th century example out of Essex county MA.
Material is 3/4"x1/4" and 1/2"x1/4" mild steel flat bar.
