old 14k gold wostenholm knife
Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:26 pm
I saw a small knife that the handles were flat 14 K gold. The tang stamp said 1 XL George Wostenholm. The handle had fancy scrolling. The knife was maybe 2 inches long and was a 2 blade. The second blade had a tang stamp of 1 XL Wostenholm. I don't have a picture right now since it is in a small antique shop. Has anybody seen these kind of knives made from real gold? Does anybody have an age that this might have been made or the name of a price guide that would cover this maker. The knife is priced at $90.00. I have gotten some real good deals on knives from this antique dealer because he mainly deals in old glassware. Any help would be appreciated. I might be able to get him to let me take a picture in a few days.
be careful to check markings.
