An Early Antique 19th century sailor made fid, traditionally used in rope work and sailmaking. This example is made from horn and wood, materials that were both practical and accessible to sailors of the period.

The main body is horn, a strong and smooth material ideal for splicing ropes without fraying them. The wooden top section is secured with small metal pins or rivets, suggesting it was made by a sailor, instead of a mass produced piece.

Horn fids are less common than wooden ones, making this a fine addition to any maritime collection.

Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound.
