Created in the UK by French Napoleonic prisoners of war, cattle bone necessaire, circa 1800
A good example of these multi tools, consisting of a toothpick, toungue scraper, ear wax scoop and unidentified saw edge.
Decorated with classic motifs, red and black stained circles and hearts.
In very good sound condition.
