Condition Report
The page turner is in good condition commensurate with age and use. The ivory blade is showing evidence of some chipping to the end point along with some abrasion along the edges. The colour of the ivory is pleasing however the surface is displaying various marks, scratches and discolouration. The joint along the blade and the handle is also displaying obvious solder marks. The handle itself is in good condition overall displaying scratches, marks and tarnishing along with polish build up and loss of definition to engraved areas. There is also some loose material inside the handle allowing for a rattling sound when moved. Hallmark rubbed but legible.
