This Antique (1889) Eiffel Tower Souvenir Penknife, believed to date to 1889 when the Eiffel Tower and Universal Exhibition opened, is a rare collectible that captures a pivotal moment in history. The body appears to be made of pressed horn and measures roughly 3.5 inches long closed, with a 2-inch blade stamped Depose and bearing the maker’s mark of G.C. It is in well-worn but good condition, with evidence that the hole at the top was originally a viewing lens but which is now missing. At TheTreasureTrench, we pride ourselves on offering authentic vintage badges and collectables that bring history to your collection. This penknife is a unique find for enthusiasts seeking genuine artifacts from the iconic Paris exposition of 1889.
