Vancourt (NY) Hollow Handle Coin Master Butter Knife

At 7" long, this hollow handle, solid coin silver bladed master butter knife is on the large size for this form. This particular item is a leaf and bead design, with a feathered script "SAW" monogram. The mark on the blade is an eagle, head, and V in a diamond. This is attributed to James Vancourt (NY), and is derivative of a short-lived partnership he shared with Albert Coles' nephew mid 19th century. The condition is very good. The handle has a few slight pinprick nicks, but the seams are tight, as is the join with the handle. The blade is even, flat and without burrs or signs of wear.
