Antique Celluloid Letter Opener – Carved Lighthouse & Ship Design
Nautical Motif – Art Deco Charm
Sail through your correspondence in style with this antique celluloid letter opener, a delightful piece of desk décor that proves even opening mail can be a voyage.
Featuring detailed carvings of a lighthouse & a tall ship, this creamy ivory-toned beauty brings all the nostalgia of classic nautical romance—without the seasickness. The intricately molded handle showcases a graceful Art Deco aesthetic with scrolling motifs, while the blade is sleek & ready for action (well, envelope action).
Whether you're a fan of maritime history, vintage plastics, or just want your junk mail opened with elegance, this is the piece for you.
⚓ Features:
-Material: Celluloid (early plastic)
-Design: Carved lighthouse & ship scene with shell pattern and scroll detailing - identical on both sides
-Length: Approx. 9.25" x 1.2"
-Color: Creamy ivory tone
-Era: Late 19th century to early 20th century
Condition: good condition – There is some damage at the tip of the blade, I photographed both sides to show that the tip damage isn't really seen on one side of it. Other than that, not really any surface wear, but also a few fleabites on the blade, condition is consistent with age. Please see photos for view of condition
Great gift for collectors, nautical fans, or anyone who believes in making every detail charming—even bill-opening.
From a smoke-free, ship-shape home.
