Silver Cigar Cutter Penknife Combination

1940 - 1960
Description

A combination silver cigar cutter and knife. Engine turned decoration to both sides, blank cartouche. Hallmarked to both sides makers mark probably for William Manton who was a known cigar cutter maker Birmingham 1964.

The mechanism is quite stiff and show very little signs of use, the cutter is opened by pressing down on the small lever on the side, this is very stiff and I have found it quite difficult to operate, but the cigar cutter opens well.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A combination silver cigar cutter and penknife is a multi-functional gentlemans pocket accessory that integrates a steel knife blade with a dedicated mechanism designed to trim or pierce the end of a cigar.

These items typically feature external casings forged from sterling silver or silver plate, while the functional cutting blades and internal springs are constructed from tempered steel for durability.

Authentic pieces generally display stamped British silver hallmarks or makers marks near the bolster or casing, along with hand-engraved or engine-turned detailing on the exterior handles.

These small tactile objects are commonly displayed on executive office desks, placed within decorative valet trays, or arranged alongside antique books in a study or library setting.

The silver casing should be wiped with a soft cotton cloth and polished with dedicated silver cream, while steel blades require periodic light oiling to prevent oxidisation and moisture buildup.
