    Description

    george wostenholm gentleman’s pocket knife early 20th century. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
    This is in much better condition than most early 20th century Sheffield gentleman’s pocket knives. The blades show minimal pepper spots of oxidation and all blades have strong opening, closing snaps and half stops.
    It measures just over three inches closed, the scales are intact with tiny barely discernible pin cracks at the end pins, due to age related desiccation over the decades. All blades are stamped with the Wostenholm logo I*X, and were made after 1891.
    The blades are observed to have been sharpened over the years but carefully done, and are more than 95% full.
    A robust century old folder which may be comfortably carried every day for years to come. The biggest risk of doing so, of course, is loosing it
