Description

The Letter Opener in Towle's historic Benjamin Franklin pattern showcases the traditional craftsmanship and refined ornamentation that defines this enduring sterling favorite. Originally introduced in 1905, this classic pattern is highly prized by collectors for its distinctive fiddle shape and intricate, colonial-inspired shell and scroll detailing. This elegant desktop accessory safely and cleanly slices through envelopes, preserving the integrity of important correspondence. The piece typically measures between 8" and 9 1/4" in total length, perfectly counterbalancing a beautifully weighted hollow sterling silver handle with a sharp, mirror-finished stainless steel blade designed for lasting durability. Finished with a brilliant luster, this distinct office or library essential serves as an excellent replacement piece or a sophisticated heirloom statement gift for graduations, promotions, holidays, and dedicated collectors of fine vintage desk accessories.
