Item Description
7-7/8" long with tiny bit of the pointed tip missing but otherwise just very light general wear although side showing cut away view of the pod shows some dark marks in our photo which were surface dirt now removed. One side of opener shows pod and company trademark while opposite side shows pod with cut away and additional text "Natural Size Pod Of Burpee's Bush Lima." Very tiny text along the edge of the pod names maker "Baldwin & Gleason Co. Ltd. NY." That designation dates this piece to approximately 1896-1900. Only the second we've seen in five decades.
