Heh, think I'd heard about the stray shopping cart project, but never looked for the link. Thanks for that.
Some interesting questions, some of which I'd thought about, some of which I hadn't. Classification is never really on the map for me unless someone else raises it. I'm not the sort of person who systemises or classifies.
That said, I had thought about displaying pieces when I've accumulated more, which would mean thinking about ways of displaying them, including how they would be ordered. At present I simply don't have enough to consider exhibiting, but the train of thought is underway now.
The only photos I have at present are the ones here on santiago's dead wasp. The street cutlery tag will bring them all up, and a couple of other posts. What I may do, when I find the time, is feature them on a page over at my website. It'd be a good place to bring together all the notebook archaeologies too. Currently I still have years of poetry and other writing to post there before anything else.
I never have seen a 5-finger fork, or for that matter a 3-finger fork for use at the table. I've seen 3-fingered forks for toasting and so on. Interesting.

four fingers seem to be the design standard for some reason.

here's a link to an interesting art-project:

i'm really liking how yr documenting yr finds.
do you have any sort of classification system?
can you provide a quick-link to photos of yr collection at home you've posted up before?
are you interested in the display aspect at all, or more the collection aspect?
