AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A particularly beautiful vintage design icon from the 1970s: an extra-large silver-plated brass razor blade with an engraved ruler on one side (scale in inches and centimeters). Made in the well-known silver and metal workshop OLRI, founded by the famous silversmith Rino Greggio (Greggio Group) in Padua, Italy.
The authentic oval maker’s mark is stamped into the metal (see detail photos).
High-quality silver-plated brass, perfectly smooth on the front, with a more rugged, matte-brushed texture on the back.
Can be used as a paperweight, a desk accessory, or simply as a decorative object.
In nice, glossy vintage condition with minimal signs of use. A bit polished, but it can always look even better…
The weight is 50 grams.
Of course, this unique object will be packaged with great care and shipped quickly.
