[QUOTE="Gianluca72, post: 1497253, member: 8309"]Hello dear friends, I resume the discussion because I put this page Turner up for sale and a very nice user wrote me a message on ebay in which according to his point of view it is not a page turner but something else ... I paste his message with the aim of being able to better understand with you what it is and what you think also because his point of view contrasts a little with yours. Then only after reading your updated points of view I will eventually change my description Thank you very much for the help. Gianluca. " Hi. Please do not be offended but this was not intended as a page turner. Such things are extremely rare - See Google The phantom page turner. This is a page cutter/paper knife from the time when books and newspapers sill had some of the pages joined at the edges. It was inserted along the fold to free them. I still have some of the books my father 'cut' and can remember one of these (though not as nice as yours) in public libraries next to the daily papers. I hope this helps.
