A good gauge silver letter opener designed as a meat skewer. This letter opener is a good weight, shape and size. The feature hallmark is also a lovely addition. Although the number of letters we receive is small what a great way to open a letter this would be! A great piece of collectable silver that can also be used and enjoyed.
