This bamboo needle cutter has always been one of my favourites. It is very simple to use and works well with most of my sound-boxes.
Can anyone provide any information about it please I wonder ?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

The letters on the bottom point to France or a french speaking nation.

I like its design. Very artful.
It looks like a lyre or the f-holes of a violin.

I agree with you - although earlier today it reminded me of some-thing else but I can't quite remember what it was now ......

I can't thank you enough OrthoFan. The documentation and patent date etc are fantastic.
I am really pleased that it just 'crept in' during the 1920's.
Thank you so very much again.
Another mystery solved !
