For Sale: Henckels Pearl Lobster Knife

[kootenay joe]

This vintage 6 blade Henckels lobster knife is 2 7/8" closed. It has been used and the carbon steel blades show some areas of oxidation. All blades/tools have fine smooth action & crisp snaps and no play anywhere.
This knife is shown in a 1920'ish Henckels catalog. It is an old pattern that likely was being made in the later part of the 1800's. The youngest it could be is from 1930's. Most likely age is 100 and some years.
I consulted with a collector of vintage Henckels knives about value and he replied: "it's easily in the $250-$300 range."
I think it is a bit high for us old folks here at AAPK and to encourage a prompt sale:
Price: $200, shipped.
If interested please send me a PM or email: rprocter@telus.net
comes with an old but intact leather purse with functioning clasp. Might be original to knife, but no way to be sure.
