Antique Questions Forum / Wostenholm 13 1/4 in. Sharpening Steel
« on: May 02, 2013, 02:40:51 pm »
Hello Antique-shop.com, what I have here is a Wostenholm 13 1/4 in. Sharpening Steel. This has been handed down through my family for multiple generations. I have provided some photos of the Steel.
The Measurements are as follows: Full length- 13 1/4 inches. Steel Length-8 1/4 inches. Handle Length-5 inches.
The only marking i could find were the "Wostenholm.ENG" on the base of the steel and the "Sterling" markings on the handles silver plating. I was told by my father that the handle is made out of Elk Horn. I am more looking for the date of the Steel rather than the price. Any help is appreciated. http://imgur.com/a/7UanQ
