Ladies Art Nouveau coin silver folding fruit knife embossed with roses that was carried in the purse.
One
blade for cutting and one blade for cleaning nails or used as a nut pick.
These
knives were very handy for a large variety of uses; cutting an apple, trimming loose threads, etc.
The
term 'fruit knife' was a polite way of referring to a pocket knife for a lady.
Nice
rose design and a great collectible to add to your purse collection.
