About the Item

Although the purpose was once for "erasing" ink, this antique English piece can very well be used as a letter opener. It probably did serve a dual purpose way back when. The eraser has a swirling handle stamped with both "sterling" and "1889." The double blade is made of steel. OFFERING FREE SHIPPING TO CONTINENTAL US. PLEASE JUST ASK FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE.
