Wood letter opener, made in Camp Petawawa, 1940-1942 - en anglais seulement
Wood letter opener, made in Camp Petawawa, 1940-1942. Carved from one piece, the all-wood construction has an obvious patina, but its unclear if it's lacquer or use-wear. The object is broken into two pieces at the blade/hilt joint.
This letter opener is part of a group of wood objects collected and preserved by the family of internee Girolamo (George) Capponi.
The letter opener along with other wooden objects in the collection, may have been made by Capponi himself. He had written to his wife asking for wood-working tools.
