H.C. Williams Desk Letter Opener Folding Pen Knife Red Celluloid Handle-RARE No Reserve
Early H.C. Williams double-end folding letter opener and pen knife with rich red celluloid scales and nickel silver bolsters. One side is script-engraved “H.C. Williams” with a red monogram on the reverse, making this both a functional desk piece and a marked collectible.
Slender opposing blades give it the profile of a gentleman’s desk letter opener while retaining traditional pocket knife construction. Tang stamp reads H.C. Williams. Blades show honest age patina and light surface wear. Celluloid handles are intact with typical handling marks. Blade open and close properly.
A handsome early 20th century desk accessory — equal parts utility and display piece.
