Description

This is a rare Victorian novelty item. This charming piece is a silver handled fruit knife and button hook. The body is exquisitely crafted in the form of a fish, with engraved details of scales, fins and gills. The swivel pin cleverly is set to represent the eye. The steel tools open partially or fully, as wished. A wonderful and rather rare collector's piece, with a practical use. Maker:- J Nowill & Sons
