Before Tiffany had their own silversmiths & were still a stationery store, they sold work by prominent New York Silversmiths.  Among them was George W. Shiebler,
This letter opener was made by New York Master Silversmith George Shiebler (Schiebler) who was in business from 1876-1910 & has work presently exhibited in the Brooklyn Museum.  It was retailed by Tiffany in the mid to late 1800's.

It is Beautifully Designed with a Separate Casting of a Winding Snake, Hand-Applied to the Letter Opener Handle.  The Blade is 'Scythe-like' & is Perfectly Matched to the Handle's Detailed Snake Design.  A Perfect Marriage in Design & Execution.  Shiebler is best known for his unique & avant garde shapes & styles used during the Art Nouveau Period.  This is a splendid example of his work during that time.
