English Antique Ink Eraser/Letter Opener with Sterling Handle
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.
