Vintage Wire Coil Egg Whisk

This is a vintage manual egg whisk or beater, characterized by an industrial, utilitarian design. The item is constructed entirely of metal, likely steel or iron, featuring a single continuous heavy-gauge wire handle that is bent into a slender, elongated oval loop for a grip. The functional whisking head consists of multiple interlocking wire rings or coils arranged in a flexible, grid-like pattern around a central wire frame. This design was specifically intended for aerating eggs or light batters through a vigorous up-and-down or swirling motion. The item shows significant signs of age and use, with a dark, oxidized patina and visible surface rust distributed across the handle and the intricate loops of the whisking head. There are no immediate manufacturer marks or timestamps visible in the image, but the construction style is consistent with kitchen implements manufactured in the late 19th to early 20th century. The craftsmanship is robust and functional rather than decorative, with the wires tightly coiled and secured to the handle frame. The condition is aged but structurally sound, indicating it was a working kitchen tool.
