Can anyone give me further information about this plated silver paperknife? The mark says "W. L. & Co. Dublin EP".

Its original function was most likely a meat skewer

A recipe using skewers....

GOOD PLAIN COOKERY
BY
MARY HOOPER
1893

quote:
ROULADES

To make these a fillet of beef must be procured. One of the most convenient ways is to remove the fillet, or undercut, of the sirloin before roasting. The undercut of the rump known as fillet steak is, however, equally suitable for the purpose. There need be no waste in its use, as all the trimmings can be made into pies or stews for the second table. Cut as many slices as you require roulades as thin as possible, lay one at a time flat on the board, cover it with a very thin slice-not quite so large as the beef of boiled bacon, then roll it up very tightly, egg it over, roll it in finely-sifted bread-crumbs very highly seasoned with pepper and salt, then put it on a skewer in such a manner as it will keep its shape nicely; as the remainder are prepared, place them on the skewer, not too close together, four will be sufficient to place on each skewer. Put into the frying-pan a small slice of butter, and when it is hot put in the roulades, and let them cook gently on one side for ten minutes, when they should be crisp and brown; then turn them on the other side, and finish. A very little concentrated gravy, thickened, may be poured round the dish immediately before serving, or they may be sent up without it. The remains of a roasted fillet of beef or of sirloin are excellent, used for roulades.

Hello:

I made a second post on your forum (Paper Knife). Again, by the time I got the precise niceties of posting a photo right most people probably clicked it, couldn't see anything and moved on. Now, it seems silly season has opened on and a couple of rather stupid off topic posts have appeared. Can you please remove these?

Very disappointed that apparently nobody on your forum can tell me anything about the precise Dublin silver maker I asked about. My post on the silver tankard (Old Tankard) at least got an informative and interesting response concerning the date of the monogram.

Yours,
Mihmar

The image of your meat skewer is helpful, but a closeup of the marking might be helpful as well. In general, there is a difficulty in identifying silver plated objects as there were a great many makers, and still are. However, unlike silver smiths who made things of sterling, silver plated ware makers are often not always very well documented.
