This listing is for a Rare little Antique (mid / late 1800s) item of Tableware / Serving Cutlery - A Pair of Multi Spiked, Silver Plated Boiled Egg Topper Scissors / Boiled Egg Cutters / Boiled Egg Cracker Scissors. by the renowned German Silversmiths 'WMF' (Wurttembergische Metalwaren Fabrik) They are 10.2cm high x 6cm wide, they have round finger grips, eighteen spiked prongs, and they are marked: 'WMFM' (the M representing the German word 'Messing' which in English translates as Brass) also a figure one over a zero, (this denotes the thickness of the silver which is deposited on the surface of the base metal) This combination of letters, font and numbers represents the 'WMF' 1886 to 1903 period. The cutters are in good and useable condition, and would make most interesting pieces of table serving cutlery.
In days gone by the cutters would have been used by one's butler, to save you from the exhausting task of topping your own boiled eggs!
I have more Antique Cutlery and Tableware, Together with Numerous Other Vintage and Antique Listings - Multi Item Postage Discount would of course be given where applicable.
Thank you for taking time to peruse my collection, and stay well, Colin
