This is simple and sturdy brass letter opener. At the top is a rope loop knot, making it an ideal gift for the sailor in your life. It's a beautiful desk accessory from the mid century period. Condition: Very good vintage condition. It has a patina, but I'll leave the decision whether to polish it them to the new owner. Some surface wear present, mostly on the blade -- it was used regularly. Please use photos to help you assess condition. Size: A substantial 8.25" long, and just under 1.25" wide (at the loop). That's 21 cm x 3 cm. Dispatches from Canada 1 - 3 business days with tracking and as little plastic as possible. Quicker dispatch, faster shipping, and combined reduced shipping may be available at a different cost. Please message me for a quote, or with any questions.
