Here's a true gem for your vintage desk or curiosity cabinet! This rare mid-century novelty set combines a letter opener and matching scissors, cleverly housed in an intricately carved wooden sheath that's as functional as it is beautiful.

The pointed stainless blade knife features a brass crossguard and smooth wooden handle, while the companion scissors boast ornate brass handles shaped like miniature saber hilts—both nest perfectly in the rich wooden sheath adorned with hand-carved leaf motifs, brass hardware accents, and even etched ruler markings for that extra practical (and collectible!) touch. It's got that elegant old-world gentleman's desk vibe—ideal for letter opening, envelope snipping, crafting, or simply displaying as a conversation-starting piece of vintage ingenuity.

• Overall sheath length: approx. 12" (measure yours for exact)
• Knife blade approx. 4.75" long
• Scissors approx. 6.5" overall
• Rich carved wood with brass details and ruler scale

Condition: Excellent vintage for collectors—no rust, chips, cracks, or bends on blades; brass displays a gorgeous aged patina with light wear that tells its story; wood shows soft shelf rubs and gentle toning from decades of careful display, but everything's clean, tight, functional, and odor-free. The crossguard of the letter opener is a little lose. A pristine example of these sought-after novelty combos!

Perfect for collectors of Victorian-inspired desk curios, brass novelty tools, mid-century gentleman's accessories, or quirky multi-function pieces. These rarely come up in such complete, detailed condition—don't miss addin' this unique treasure to your collection!

Free shipping on all orders $35+! Ships securely padded with tracking. Blessings from Texas!
