Fabulous Old Carved Swordfish Letter Opener with Blade stoneware pitcher points on the picket fenceI'm completely charmed by this one, which was quite finely done, and is a very useful one too, with the long thin sword perfect for slipping through the top of a sealed envelope, and the blade inside of its mouth cutting the paper as it goes. Great in the hand and really quite a satisfying thing, with lots of years on it and a great patina. 9 3 8" long and in very good condition.
