Val St Lambert Glass Dagger/Sword Letter Opener

(1/2) > >>

catshome:
Yesterday I had my paws on what I would have described as a glass sword - I thought it might be a ceremonial thing for maybe cutting a wedding cake.  I would say it must have been around 20" long.

Last night I was flicking through Miller's Collecting Glass (Yates) looking for something else, and on page 160 I saw the identical piece - described as a letter opener by Val St Lambert - but with no measurements.

I wondered if anyone could give me any more information as I rather liked it and might pop back later today.  I have trawled ebay and googled it too, also tried the VSL website (I emailed their info addy while I was there), but cannot find a glass sword/dagger/letter opener anywhere.

Thank you for looking

Flipping big letter to need a letter opener 20 ins long???

Glass swords are not unknown, Cat. Ray Annenberg made fourteen at Whitefriars Glass... see the story on his son, Paul's, website... http://www.thru-the-lookinglass.co.uk/

For all those really big  bills  ;D (could also be used for harakiri afterwards  :-X)

(apologies for irresistible, compulsive wibbling  :-[)

I was thinking it might be useful when the postman rings my doorbell insistently at 8am when I went to bed at 5am..................

The letter opener idea was in Miller's - I can't see how you could open a letter at arms length - I have enough trouble finding the little space for my tiny letter opener.  But it would look great in wedding cake cutting pics.  Maybe I should buy it and hire it out!
