Day 164, Silver fruit knife

Everyone should have a silver fruit knife.  Handy for peeling silver fruit from the precious metal tree.

This one was made in Sheffield by Charles William Fletcher & Sons whose offices were on 'Bramhall Lane', now known as Bramall Lane.  The company still exists as part of Fletcher Robinson Ltd.

The Assay Mark is a crown which indicates it was assayed in Sheffield.  This crown mark was used from 1775-1975 and since 1975 it has been the York Rose.
The sterling mark silver mark is a lion.
The date letter, a lower case d in this shaped background denotes the year 1921.
The makers mark - CWF - Charles William Fletcher & Sons.

The length of the knife when closed is 6.3cm which is smaller than my little finger.

Do not try to cut anything tougher than a soft pear with it otherwise it is likely to bend.

The mother of pearl scales have a pattern carved into them part of which features a bird perched on the rivet at the bottom end.  Watch out the fruit eating bird doesn't eat your kiwi.
