Description
The cutlery knife has a long, narrow blade with a pointed oval end. The octagonal handle widens towards the end and ends with a small, moulded ring pommel. Two stamps can be recognised on the lower part of the blade. One could be a stylised lily, the other is only vaguely recognisable. In addition to the ‘1647’, the hilt
also reads ‘Anna Schwartz’.
Holding
Provenance
This object presumably came from the property of Clara Marx and was added to the collection of the ‘Haus der Heimat - Sauerländisches Friedrich Harkort Museum’ during the Nazi dictatorship through a purchase. However, she did not receive the money for it, as it was allegedly given directly to the tax office due to overdue ‘Jewish property taxes’.
Parts of the collection - such as this object - became the property of the Hagen City Museum in the post-war period.
