    Description

    From an estate.  Please see description above.
    From the internet:   Alfred Field opened a Hardware Store in Birmingham in 1836, which then developed into opening a Sheffield Office in 1876.  He died in1884 and his son continued to run the business as Alfred Field & Co. from 1892 to 1913.  This compact yet lethal
    blade
    was designed to be easily concealed, and used for self defense.
