(MS) These pieces came from a Doctors House in Staten Island, New York. This was part of his home office collection. These pieces are in excellent condition. Take a good look at the pictures. The gold colored letter opener and long scissors are from Solingen Germany, where they make the very finest metals. The other letter opener was a promotional advertisement gift. Probably given to the doctor as a gift.... The doctor was chief of staff in a hospital on Staten Island. Some cool history to add to your collection.
