This is a nice looking used vintage gold toned embossed metal sleeveboard shadow lobster skeleton pen pocket or watch fob knife. The knife has a used and carbon steel narrow spear point main blade, I think, with a common nail pull. Both faces have scratches from use and some scattered very light pitting. Stamped on the front tang is a large vertically stamped letter “B”. There is another B stamped inside the first one. Opening from the bottom of the frame is a carbon steel nail file, or manicure, blade with a long nail pull. It has only a bit of light pitting on all three flat sides. It has a standard vertical ridge and valley nail file on the face that folds down into the frame. The top portion of the blade is the finger nail cleaner. The spear blade has a fair snap on open and close and a fair half-stop. The manicure blade is quiet on both open and close. The handles are brightly polished gold toned embossed metal. Both scales are identical and very intricately decorated. They have a very embellished border all along the edges of the handles. There is a narrow flat open area on each handle that would really be too small or any etching in my opinion. The original gold toned or brass bail is still attached to the frame with rivets. The bail is stamped B.B. CO. which I’ve seen on the few Beaverbrook skeleton watch fob knives I’ve seen. The handles also serve as the liners. The knife has internal back springs. This Vintage Antique B.B. Knife Company ornate gold toned Sleeveboard shadow skeleton lobster pen pocket or watch fob knife is 2 5/16” in length. The company is thought to be in business from the 1890’s until at least c.1902. Additional photos or information on request.
