Comparative Literature: E H Pinto; "Treen and Other Wooden Bygones"; G Bell & Sons, Lodon 1969; Plate 219 illustrates a similar primitive example, which the author discusses on page 208 and suggest was probably also made by the butcher himself.
This example was discovered in a house in Kent, and reputedly belonged to, and was made by, Jesse Resker Perrin who lived and worked as a butcher in Kent in the late 19th Century.
