Up for bid is a flat handle cake saw in the aesthetic NEWPORT / CHICAGO pattern by Rogers & Hamilton / International, introduced in 1879. The knife is 10 7/8 inches long and has good weight. It has an impressed grain and ribbon pattern on the blade. The piece has never been monogrammed. The piece is marked "ROGERS & HAMILTON", as shown.
Condition on the piece is fairly good. The blade tip is slightly bent, and there is minor wear-through on some of the high points. A good piece in a good old pattern!
