Rare antique wood straining ladle from the 1800’s. American. This is a museum quality piece since the only other one I found online is in a West Virginia history museum! (Click here) I’ve never seen a ladle like this before since skimmers don’t have an upright handle & ladles don’t normally have holes in them. I’m guessing it’s for draining foods from a pot or for scooping out fermented foods. The handle is held onto the spoon with an original wood nail. 3 holes in the spoon. It is sturdy & can still be used!

M E A S U R E M E N T S • Length - 18.25 in. Diameter (spoon part) - 3.75 in.

C O N D I T I O N • Very good used condition with no major flaws. A few scratch marks, tiny scratch spot with white on it, 1 tiny crack underneath the nail (doesn’t affect the use at all).
