Purchased this in the 1970s from an elderly woman at the Briggs Farm in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. She had it hidden because she was afraid her grandchildren would find it and it is sharp. The farm itself is over 300 years old. Blade has been protected for many decades in a cardboard wrapping secured with copper wire. It will be sent to you, as found.

The blade is 1 3/4 inches wide.
