Description

G
REAT PIECE OF FOLK
ART YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE
!
Up for auction is a
gorgeous piece of Kenyan folk art, an ebony hand-carved 15
”
letter opener shaped like a man!
I go
t this about
40
years ago
.
I like it.
It
’
s quite beautiful.
I
use letter openers.
I have a little
Spanish sword that
’
s about 7
”
long and it works just fine.
I keep i
t in a cup with pens and pencils.
At 15
”
x 1
”
this
requires a bit more storage spa
ce.
It
’
s actually sharpe
r than the one I
use, but since usually open bills and junk mail, I
’
m rarely concerned about a clean slice to the envelop
e.
Time to pass it on to someone
else who will appreciate
it.
Condition
:
Excellent to like new
.
This was used only a couple times and
was mostly stored in boxes.
It
’
s hand-carved so there are
fabrication marks.

I am not an antiqu

collects and never
like
d
to get rid of things.
Everything I’m selling is “stuff” I’ve accumulated, not something “picked” for resale.
It’s just time to start letting go…and make my wife happy
