| Item description |
this folding penknife type glovehook is one of the
best I have seen. The silver scales on each side are
marked D&F for Deakin & Francis of Birmingham and
the steelwork is by Harrison Bros & Howson of
Sheffield. The date letters are rubbed but it is
likely to be from the mid 1880's. With it is
included a top quality silver handled boothook
hallmarked William Comyns, London 1901. I have
priced it low because the steel shank looks to have
been a replacement. |

boothook 11 and 1/4 inches, glovehook 2 and 1/4
