Description
This listing is for an Antique Victorian Mushroom Darner, by theCumberland Pencil Co. Keswick.
The "Lake District, is in northern England & tourist area famous for its scenery. This Treen/Wood Tool is in great condition, for being over 100+ years old. It is made up of two fitted sections = The cap and the cylindrical needle holder handle. There are some remaining needles, found within. On one side of the handle is impressed marked, with the company's name. On the other side, in Gilt Lettering:
H ROBINSON.
There is also some scroll decoration, at the beginning and end of the name. The handle has a lovely turned finial embellishment.
I do not think it was used much as it is in such wonderful condition for its age.
The Cumber land Pencil Co. was founded in 1916 and closed in 2007. The building is now the Derwent Pencil Museum
Darner measures approx. 6" L x 2 3/4" across
