Hi all,

some more information on this:

today I checked Sherlock, D. (1988) A combination Roman eating implement, Source title: Antiquaries Journal [comments: 310-311, pl. xlix]

this actually is about another find that is very similar, but was auctioned at Sotheby's in 1986. It seems that there are at least 2 more such sets besides the one auctioned and the one at the museum mentioned above. Those 2 were found in Bulgaria and Italy respectively.
The auctioned one is reported as being from the early 3rd century and has an interesting little feature I didn't see with the other one, namely a small device to fasten/unfasten the fork/spoon thing to the handle. Quite convenient.

I forgot my camera this time, but will post pics of this one here next week or so and will also try to dig deeper and unearth the articles about the other combi-tool sets ....

And yes, I'm very much tempted to try and build one of those in silver ... ;-) )
Cheers,
Martin
