Google Books is DANGEROUS.
No, really.
I found an image in Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts of Queen Elizabeth's cutlery set, and was enthusing about sucket forks... and of course my geek tried to pretend that sucket-forks aren't cool-- this is a man who lusts after the titanium spork in the ThinkGeek catalog (ok, let's get real, geeks really want one of everything on the ThinkGeek website, please)...
Anyway, so I was looking at Google Images of sporks, and found this book:
The Authentic Tudor & Stuart Dolls' House by Brian Long
http://books.google.com/books?id=CE9P4oFr838C&dq=sucket+fork+elizabethan
which includes images/documentation of convertible sucket-forks, not to mention all kinds of other documentation including LATRINES...
WHIMPER. MUST.HAVE.NOW! WHIMPER!
Go look. Drool. I shall call B&N tomorrow and order it. Buying books I can't afford again.
