Irish Butter Knife

The complication, of course, is that such a marriage could have been made any time from 1789 to yesterday. Best clue as to when would be overall consistency in wear and patina. Looking at the close-up photo of the joint between handle and blade, from what I can see, it looks pretty consistent and I'd presume, lacking other evidence, that the marriage is an old one.

A related query to follow....
