This 7 1/2" long, 1.2 T. oz., master butter, sometimes identified as a fish, knife was made by Wood & Hughes, whose "WwH" emblem, "Sterling," "Patent," "1868," and the name of the retailer, "W.M. Savage," Columbus, Ohio, appear on the blade backside.

The pattern is unnamed, but is essentially an unembellished version of the company's 1875 Renaissance Revival "Angelo," with an engraved script "H.B.L." monogram in the place where the Moorish detail of "Angelo" otherwise appears.

Solid silver, it has a flat handle with a broad, scalloped edge blade with an upswept and pointed tip.

In excellent condition, this retains clear detail that is free of polishing wear. The blade is without bends or knicks, showing only light surface scratches consistent with age. The overall finish is bright and even.
