VTG Made in USA Metal Letter Opener Red Leather Handle with Gold Greek Key Pattern

Up for sale is a beautiful, high-quality vintage desktop letter opener, proudly stamped "MADE IN USA" directly on the metal blade neck. This premium mid-century desk tool features a tapered, polished silver-toned metal blade paired with a flat, flared handle wrapped in a lightweight red skiver leather casing. The face of the leather handle is decorated with a sharp, gold foil tooled Greek key (meander) geometric border.

Material & Texture Note:

Please note that the handle has a very lightweight, thin, almost "papery" feel under the fingers. This texture is completely original and correct for this specific type of vintage desk accessory. It is crafted from authentic "skiver leather"—a genuine top-grain sheepskin or lambskin that is split incredibly thin by the manufacturer and backed by a stiff cardboard core to give it structure.

It is a well-made, solid desk accessory perfect for traditional office spaces, library desks, executive gifts, or vintage stationery tool collections.
