PAPER KNIVES
MADE FROM NAZI BOMBS. Thousands of miles from the war zone, people are now slitting their letters open with paper knives made from bits of bombs rained ; by the Nazis on London in the blitz. The larger pieces are melted down and used again by industry, but small fragments have been shaped into 'blades, leaving the handle in the rough of the original splinter. The paper knives are from six inches to two feet long and quantities of these souvenirs have already been shipped to the Dominions and U.S.A.
