Description

Antique Silver Lady's Pen Knife / File / Scissors
French * Circa 1900
This pretty combination piece contains a folding steel penknife, file and a little pair of scissors. It has solid silver sides embossed with a delicate floral design
. It was obviously a lady's knife
.
It is stamped with the French boar's head silver hallmark that indicates 800/1000 pure silver made in Paris.
The scissors have a steel spring and cut paper very well. The knife measures 2 5/8" long closed and 4 1/4" long with the scissors folded out. There is a shallow bruise on one side but the condition is otherwise excellent with no loss to the silver and no rust on the steel. Everything is intact and the end has a ring so it could be attached to a watch chain or chatelaine.
Everything opens and snaps closes properly.
