This cast iron cutter and embellished with Nickel Plated accents to make it a real showpiece in those old Country Stores that were lucky enough to get this model.  It measures 18 3/4" long 5" depth & 7" high when closed and 20 1/2" open. Blade is 4 1/2".  It has Great patina with much of the red stripe intact and a large amount of the nickle plate parts still shiny and beautiful. Little to No rusting or pitting. Blade is sharp.
