Typically, naval fids of the 18th and 19th century were carved out of wood or bone and used for knotting, splicing rope, and canvas repair. In a sailor’s down time they may carve designs into the handles. The fid pictured here is conical shape and has a tapered, sharp end. It is made of bone and measures 7” in length. Retains good coloring for age, ivory and a few dark spots, most likely due to natural coloration of aged bone. [mc] [ph:L]
