Antique silver Letter Opener - YB1920

Antique Solid Silver Letter Opener – Sheffield 1920 by Yates Bros

This fine antique solid silver letter opener was hallmarked in Sheffield in 1920 and crafted by the respected silversmiths Yates Bros. Supplied in a smart gift box, it is both a practical desk accessory and a collectible piece of early 20th-century British silver.

Measuring 19.5cm in length, the opener features a classic silver handle. As with all antique and vintage paper knives, the original stainless steel blade had seen heavy use over the years, so it has been replaced with a brand-new stainless steel blade. This ensures the piece is fully functional and ready for modern use, while retaining its antique silver character.
