Meat clamp, Silver, Leg of Lamb holder, 1900s France

Antique Silver Ham or Lamb Bone Holder, in French this is called “Manche a Gigot”. It will hold the bone while carving a leg of lamb or ham so that your hands stay clean. There are a few tiny dents and faint dimples to the silver handle. The metal part is pre-stainless steel and shows age related wear. The joint is tight and firm.
