Here we have a lovely solid silver fruit knife from the 1920s. It would be ideal for cutting small soft fruits or apples or pears.
It comes in a gift bag and would be a great present for a silver or pearl anniversary or for a birthday.
The knife has a Sterling Silver blade with the hallmarks on the side. The blade is beautifully smooth Mother of Pearl.
It was made by John Yeomans Cowlishaw who specialised in making good quality fruit knives. It was hallmarked in Sheffield in 1928.
Condition
The mother of pearl is in very good condition and shows all it’s beautiful different textures. The sliver blade is shiny with quite a few scratches to it. It folds neatly back into the handle.
Size
It’s a smaller size fruit knife, measuring 9.6cm (3 3/4 inches) with the blade fully open. It measures 5.8cm in length when the blade is closed (just over 2 1/4 inches).
