1926 Sterling Silver Fruit Knife

This is a lovely Vintage Solid Silver Fruit Knife from the 1920s. It’s a great collector’s item and could be used for slicing pieces of apple or pear.

It’s a folding fruit knife and has a Sterling Silver blade. The handle is beautiful mother of pearl with a blank shield cartouche on one side.

It was made by Villiers and Jackson and it was hallmarked in Birmingham in 1926. The hallmarks and maker’s mark are on one side of the blade.

Condition

The mother of pearl is smooth with no cracks or chips. There are three very small blobs of glue on one side of the handle. The blade is shiny with quite a few scratches. It’s slightly curved but this wouldn’t affect it’s use.

Size

It’s a larger size knife measuring 11.6cm in length when fully open (just over 4 1/2 inches). When closed it measures 7.1cm (2 3/4 inches).
