An old usage of the word I believe; toilet had to do with most aspects of personal hygiene. Included would be manicure and trimming hair.

Here is an example of a toilet knife. Nowadays we call it a “grooming” knife. This one is from the late 19th century most likely.
Among the blades and tools are a nail file/cuticle blade, a toothpick (made of tortoise shell), a mustache comb, a button hook, a corkscrew (for opening small bottles of cologne, perfumes or medicines) and an earwax spoon.

Thanks y’all! Definitely a historical piece that provides a glimpse into how folks lived in the late 1800’s. And the cutlery workmanship is amazing. Everything still works as it should.Doc B wrote:Learned something new today...interesting knife, Ken!
BTW, Webster’s defines “toilet” as “the act or process of dressing and grooming oneself”.
