This item found in an antique shop was thought to be a 19th c. flensing knife, but there is little info on these. There seems to be a number of variations, but this lunette shape is seen on a couple of examples I found.
The first pics are of the example, which has an unusual makers mark. The other is with a longer handle and of mid 19th c Maine. Another example with handle like mine and similar blade is from NE England, Whitby, and used in 19th c. Any chance anyone out there has ever seen anything like this, or the makers mark ? |
