| A scarce item indeed. This is a fully hallmarked (Birmingham, England 1886-7) sterling silver-mounted natural ivory page turner. It measures a very long 17-5/8" (sterling handle 5-3/4"), and it has superb scrollwork engraving and a never-engraved monogram panel. The riveted handle is 2" wide and the ivory is 1-1/2" across. The ivory has a hand-incribed P/E/- and the maker is CS FS. For use on huge tomes including church or home family bibles, this unusual item is in excellent original condition with no cracks, crazing, dents, bends, corrosion, losses, damage or repairs other than a shallow 1/16" flake to the ivory at the tip and some expected slight abrasions and natural discolouration. There is a minor wobble at the join probably from shrinkage over the years. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. starts at $12 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. NOTE: we do not accept PayPal. | |||||||||||
