A neat pair my friend! All that glitters ain’t gold!Metallic Monday? Why not? A Geo. Wostenholm pruner in brass and a brassy metallic celluloid (?) Imperial single blade pen (with ball bearing opening lock) that dates around 1939-1942 (according to the patent numbers).

That's a heck of a combo. Ticks all my check boxes.
Speaking of great combos, a Stratocaster and a big Craftsman stockman!
Thank you Stuart. That thread was a great rabbit hole to go down into. It led to other threads. I’ve been on a mad tear for pruners lately. I also like oddity’s, and Brass fits that niche, nicely.It seems that our own @Jack Black has tread this path previously, with some enlightenment: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/the-tyne-knife.1168960
