Hi,

I am trying to track down reproduction two-tine pitch forks. Anyone have a source or a lead?

Thanks
Rick

Rick, are you looking for the early 19th century forks that have a square, or diamond cross section or the later round wire type?  I know Charley Keller had an early version he made. You could also contact Nathan Allen at Conner Prairie. I know he has made them before and would probably make you up some.  I don't have a source for the latter ones. I know The Henry Ford had a bunch of them out in the general store. I don't know if they made them in house or bought them though.

Thanks Jon. Yep, I was looking for the early version instead of the wire tine. I will get a hold of CP and see what they can do. Worse comes to worse I got another blacksmith that could hammer one out. I was just hoping someone out there was laready making and selling them.
