A Set of Six Robert F. Mosley Ltd Rusnorstain Tea Knives

This set of six tea knives is manufactured by Robert F. Mosley Ltd of Sheffield, England. The blades are made from the firm’s proprietary Rusnorstain steel, an early form of stainless steel. Each blade is etched with the brand name RUSNORSTAIN above the cursive maker’s mark Robert F. Mosley Ltd and the location Sheffield. The knives are designed with rounded tips and are fitted into cream-coloured composition handles, likely celluloid or xylonite. The handles have a smooth, cylindrical form with rounded ends. The set is contained within its original branded cardboard box, which features a printed end label for TEA KNIVES and RUSNORSTAIN, alongside a handwritten reference number R 400.
