About the Item

Sterling fruit knife with mother of pearl handle, etched back strap, marked from his Godfather 1894 with hallmarks. In original box marked "GWNAE THOMPSON, LTD JEWELERS." Period: circa 1890 Origin: England Size: Knife 3 1/2" extended 6" In England silver fruit knives flourished after the silver assay offices opened in Sheffield and Birmingham in 1773. The blades were hallmarked following Assay. In accordance with the system conceived in London during the early 14th Century. A series of five small stamp marks disclose a city of origin, the maker’s initials, the year of assay, the sterling silver (.925) and the duty stamp, the latter which no longer carried after the duty was abolished in 1890. A fruit knife owned by Abraham Lincoln is on display at the Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Family Owned Operated Cisco’s Gallery deals in the rare, exceptional, and one-of-a-kind pieces that define the history of America and the Old West.
