A vintage letter opener featuring a handle constructed from a section of natural stag antler. The handle retains its original texture and features a prominent burr at the terminal end. The blade is carved from a piece of smooth, tapered bone or ivory, polished and fitted into the end of the antler beam. The object exhibits a natural yellowish-brown patina across both materials. The base of the burr shows a porous texture typical of antler. No maker marks or signatures are visible.
