Just acquired this MOP sleeveboard lobster. One of my favourite patterns. Made by J. Howarth. Has stainless blades so I think 1930s or maybe just after the war. Hard to say. The attachment to the bottom is a nail file on the inside and has a nice design on the outside. All told... in fantastic condition.

Well preserved; exceptionally nice piece! Thanks for the great shots, s-k!
 
Is the Lobster pattern identified by the "pick", or by the basic shape of the handle? Or something else?

In any case, it is quite nice.

Thank-you for the kind feedback everyone. The sleeveboard is the handle shape reminiscent of small Victorian ironing boards. A lobster has the spring inside the scales and the blades/attachments open from both sides. I hope this makes sense.
p.s. see the centre pin is the spring pin and it is almost in the middle rather than centre bottom.
 
I'm starting to think S-K is the across the pond counterpart of Waynorth! Both of these guys are always showing up with the coolest, most interesting, and most historically unique pieces.

Another beauty, S-K!
