This impressive, gleaming fork is rakishly embedded in a diminutive vegetable medley at the entrance of Noble & Associates, a Springfield ad agency. The fork used to be in front of a restaurant across town that went out of business. Springfield is not known for its cutlery industry, and there are no interesting stories of murder or violence relating to the fork (that I know of).
