A top-notch antique paper knife / page turner made from an outstanding piece of antique tortoise shell with a bright patina and colours ranging from golden Champagne to deep Chocolate brown.

Of course what makes this a special and unusual piece is the sterling silver mounted magnifying glass hallmarked for the highly collectible Chester assay office and the year 1913, making this a true antique example. The magnifier itself is has a wonderful magnification, is clear and undamaged and a very usable desk accessory.

There is a makers mark for the top silversmith, Grey & Co. The firm was founded in London by William Grey in 1876 and from 1886 to 1936 was active under the name of Grey & Co.,
noted for their novelties in silver and supplied luxury retail establishments such as Asprey & Co (London).

Fabulous in every way and in excellent condition. 13 1/2" long with the magnifier having a diameter measuring 2 1/2".
