Just arrived today. As lew has mentioned, smelling of wood smoke. Presumably straight from the sellers runner, collected for the trade, not that that is a bad thing. The red disc on the handle is plastic/polythene which dates it as absolutely no earlier than 1933. I have cleaned the blade and for the money I think looks not half bad. The blade is a thin lazy "S" section with a slight midrib. The handle is a little wormy.
