Unusual Marks Early Victorian/Georgian 1839 Sterling Silver & Mother of Pearl MOP English Sheffield Folding Pocket Fruit Pen Knife Penknife
$263.66
This is an early 19th-century Sheffield sterling silver & mother of pearl folding knife.
Beautiful carved real mother of pearl panels on both sides.
The hinge is firm. The blade latches on at 90° and then 180° and gives a strong snap when being closed.
The blade still has a good thickness of silver and heavy gauge - not flimsy.
A relatively large penknife.
It has an interesting William IV duty mark with the date letter for 1839 although the king died two years earlier.
