[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 304031, member: 84"]I found these in a storage unit won at auction. They had a antique tag with country of origin & England circled, but the only choices were England or France so maybe that's not true. I know the ones made in France are the most desirable, but if there are no markings how do you tell? Also, can anyone tell the age? They have a weird overlapping copper strip by the handles - does that tell you anything? Also, the ends of the handles look like meat hooks! Why would they make them so sharp - does it serve a purpose? As always I appreciate any help!
