Coin silver dessert knives, "Jenny Lind", Albert Coles

These coin knives are 7 1/2" and in usable condition. One has been repaired where the handle & blade meet and there are numerous small dents on the handles. This denting is normal on hollow handled knives of this age. Over 150 years the resin that fills the hollow handle shrinks and the thin silver dents when put in a drawer. They are hard to find in any condition. They are made by Albert Coles and so marked. Ca 1850/60.
