Hi - hope everyone is well
I recently got this lovely fruit knife - the hallmark appears to be Birmingham 1830 and it is stamped on the blade Stelling and 111 on the other side. It has a pick as well and has a lovely engraved date for 25 December 1883 and a monogram on the other side. It is a really lovely item measuring just over 3 inches folded. Does anyone have any information about this knife or maker etc?
Any info gratefully received.
Many thanks

A fruit knife with a seed pick I believe.

What is stamped on the tang ? And the blade flat ?
Sometimes the better known cutlery makers would mark at knife with their initials, like "J.R." for Joseph Rodgers, or "M & W" for Mappin & Webb.
I know next to nothing about Silver Fruit Knives. Maybe there is a collector of these knives here at AAPK who will post more information.
