On offer is a Genuine Sheffield Assayed Sterling Silver Handled Letter Opener bearing the Thread & Shell Pattern. The item has a steel blade with a mirror finish. Each Letter Opener is meticulously restored and silver finished to perfection.

The Silver Handle is not hallmarked with a date letter, however we estimate this piece to be circa 1850. It is hallmarked with the Lion Passant, Crown and the Makers mark HH - the makers mark for the Henry Howson. The item is in fantastic condition for its age as the photos reflect, hallmarks are slightly rubbed. The Paper Knife is 24 cm in length and weighs 50 grammes.
