Antique Solid Silver Letter Opener – Sheffield 1929 by George Howson

This fine antique solid silver letter opener was hallmarked in Sheffield in 1929 and crafted by the renowned silversmith George Howson. 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 with elegant proportions. As with all antique and vintage paper knives, the original stainless steel blade had seen many years of use, so it has been replaced with a new polished stainless steel blade. This ensures the opener is fully functional, durable, and ready for modern use while retaining its antique silver charm.
