Description
Offered for sale is a vintage Latama sleeveboard lobster pen knife, made in Italy, probably ca. 1950s. This knife features three stainless steel blades (a pen blade, scissors, and a manicure blade), solid 14k yellow gold handle scales, and a 14k gold bail. Length closed is approximately 2-1/2″ (without bail). The manicure blade is tang stamped Stainless Latama Italy. The knife is in very good condition overall, showing signs of normal pocket carry. It appears that there were initials engraved on one of the handle scales, which have been partially polished out. The pen blade appears to be at least 99% intact. All blades “walk and talk.” The entire knife weighs 0.77 troy ounce. The bail is marked 14K. This knife is very well made and will provide many more years of service with proper care, and would look right at home on the end of a gold pocket watch chain. You can own this very high quality vintage pocket knife for $399.99. |
