Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1920s.
This trowel uncommonly has a silver gilt coronet style handle, with a cast hairy claw foot. It was later engraved to a family of note in 1952. It would have been a very special piece at the time it was made.
A most impressive piece, and a fabulous talking point to own or to give as a gift. Such items are quite hard to find.
Size-11 3/8 inches long by 3 7/8 inches wide.
Both trowel and case are in very good condition.
Many other solid silver trowels with historical engravings, some including cases, are also in stock, but not listed. Please enquire for details and photos of others available.
