Gentleman’s Silver Bladed Fruit Paring Pocket Knife

This paring knife with Sterling marked blade, come in its original case of green leather and silk lining  which is marked, “R.H. STEARNS COMPANY, BOSTON.”  No other markings on the knife.  Not sure of the dating, but believe it is most likely early 20th Century, even though Stearns was established in 1847.

The handle is plated.  Case is excellent.
