			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.
