Antique Georgian Solid Silver Apple Corer 1808

This is a wonderful example of an increasingly rare item. This apple corer dates from the reign of George III. It is clearly hallmarked for London 1808, with the maker's mark for Thomas Phipps and Edward Robinson. The turned, green-stained handle is a little loose. The attachments between the silver and handle are present and original but they wobble slightly. It is interesting that the hallmarks on this blade are on the outside, whereas the other corer I have for sale, by the same makers and from a similar period (1797) has the hallmarks on the inside of the blade. Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
