Here is an exceptionally fine and rare tobacco leaf cutter. This one is outstanding with the handle being a large cut out figure of a black slave. This is all cut out middle weight iron. The handle is quite unique. It has a bronze top and bottom to the handle and in the middle are slices of different types of stones ? I can tell that there are ebony, catlanite and bronze slices or almost hand cut flat beads. The front of the slave cutter is on a bronze mount and this is all mounted onto a piece of hard wood which has a very nice mellow and rich surface patina. It mechanically works very well and it has a lot of signs of age on the attached inset chopping surface. This is a well thought out design and quite a wonderful piece ? in my opinion it is exceptionally rare and I don?t think you will find another. The base itself measures 12 3/8? widest x 8 1/8? deep x 1 3/8? h. Overall it is 6 ½? high and the cutter is 13 ¾? long.
Striving For Excellence
It isn?t brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
