Description
Silver Folding Fruit Knife
Antique sterling silver folding fruit knife with nicely shaped and decorated mother of pearl handle, hallmarked from Birmingham in 1870 with the makers mark being that of Hilliard & Thomason.
Small amount of springback of the blade when in the closed position, small surface chip on mother or pearl but only the top surface and does not go all the way down so makes it harder to spot.
A nice clean example which measures 66mm when closed and 106mm when opened.
