Steak Joint Korker

I have long been intrigued by the

“

Pat. Pend.

”

mark on this plastic handle prong

puller from the Steak Joint. It also has

“

Made in Hong Kong

”

molded into the

handle. That would lead one to believe that

“

Pat. Pend.

”

refers to a Hong Kong

patent. It came in a colorful box which has space for a name an address to mail it.

Hey, you had a good meal there, why not buy a souvenir and mail it to a friend?

I checked out the 58 Greenwich Avenue address on the box. That

‟

s now the

home of Fiddlesticks Pub and Grill. There were no clues there about the patent.
