Victorian Micro Folding Knives Charm

Victorian Micro Folding Knives Charm

$1,250.00


Description

DATE: Victorian, c.1890

So this is one of the coolest things you'll see today... a pair of tiny folding knives, fully functional (and razor sharp) despite their near microscopic size. One is double bladed, and both have mother of pearl handles, the blades folding away safely. We occasionally come across tiny pieces of jewellery, but these are another level. They date from the late Victorian period, circa 1890. And yes, I did cut myself opening the first one so be warned.
