https://www.thehoarde.com/dealers/appleby-antiquesA large, 19th century, French copper skimmer. This would have been used for skimming the scum from the top of jams and preserves. It is made from a heavy gauge of copper and dates from c.1880. The end of the handle is turned, like a shepherd’s crook, so that it can hang when not in use. The handle is engraved with the letters “J J L”, which would be the initials of a previous owner. There is wear to the end of the skimmer, from use, but otherwise it is in good condition.
Dimensions: Length 57.4cm. Width 10.8cm.
