Collectabl…
(310 items)
Need a bit of help with this one. It's what I think is an ivory charoote cutter. It also has a triangular tablet on its neck and also a number around the base of the neck. Also on the cutter bit is a makers name and Sheffield steel on it. Please help with any info you have. Neil
Hey Neil, I didn't know a cigar cutter was called a Cheroot Cutter, but here's a link to a site that might be able to help with this one:

Good luck, I hope this helps! :^)
Hi Bill, I did see he mentions a charoot/cigar cutter but I think it's only because a cigar is normally too big to fit in the hole but having said that the point of a new cigar would fit. Do you know anything about the triangular tablet sign ? Neil
Appreciate the love thanks Johnsmith, Jenni, fortapache, blunderbus2 Bill,and nutsabout6. Neil
Sorry Neil, it's hard for me to make out the marks, because of the glare, and focus. Does your camera take good photos in low light, because, I think the light/glare behind the cutter, is causing the focus problem. Also, maybe if you could write down all that it says on the cutter, and neck, could help identify better. I have my computer hooked up to my 60" HDTV, so with good focus, I can really see small details/marks, a lot of times I'll just take a photo, put it on the computer, just so I can see things easier! May just be my eyes though! B^D Thanks for posting! :^)
