Here we have a lovely Sterling Silver Fruit Knife from the 1920s. It’s a lovely collector’s item and can be used for slicing pieces of fruit such as apples or pears.
It comes in a gift bag and would be a great present for a wedding anniversary or birthday.
It was made by Harrison Fisher and Co and it was Hallmarked in Sheffield in 1925.
The fruit knife has a Sterling Silver blade with the maker’s mark and Hallmarks on one side. The handle has a lovely shape to it and is beautifully smooth Mother of Pearl with a blank shield cartouche on one side. The blade folds neatly back into the handle.
The Silver is shiny with some tarnish. There are a number of scratches to the blade and there’s a very slight curve to it but this wouldn’t affect it’s use.
It measures 11.3cm when the blade is fully open (4 1/2 inches). It measures 6.9cm when closed (just under 2 5/8 inches).
