Subject:Help with curious Japanese inscribed silver bottle opener
Posted By: John T. Thu, Jul 23, 2020 IP: 90.49.34.134

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this unusual bottle opener. I know it's Japanese. I thought that I could read some of the Kanji on the box as "Fuji".

The thing that I found curious was whether or not it was silver. My father thought it was but to me it feels more like steel.

Any help would help.

Regards!
