Jeg ser for meg at denne paispaden muligens kan ha blitt kjøpt av en nordmann som befant seg i Canada under krigen, og at denne paikniven muligens ble fraktet tilbake til Norge etter krigens slutt.

Paispaden må være laget av meget god kvalitet, Canadisk kvalitet. Denne paispaden er passert 100 år, men ser fremdeles nesten ubrukt ut. Stålbladet er veldig rett, blankt og tynt, og egner seg trolig meget godt til å skjære bløtkaker og lignende, uten at kaken klemmes i stykker.

Jeg har funnet en nettside, der det står mye informasjon om produsenten. Jeg siterer følgende:

"Birks was by far the largest and most influential silverware manufacturer in Canada during the 20th century. Henry Birks & Company was established in Montreal in 1879 as a retail jeweller. In 1893 Henry Birks’ three sons joined the business and the name was changed to Henry Birks & Sons. In 1897 Birks bought out Hendery & Leslie, their largest supplier of silverware, and began manufacturing their own products. Over the next 50 years, Birks expanded by buying up established jewellers across the country. They also took over their rivals in manufacturing until they had a virtual monopoly on the production and sale of sterling silverware in Canada.

Birks’ earliest production included hollowware and flatware in a few English patterns such as Old English and Fiddle. In 1907 Birks acquired the Gorham Company of Canada and with it the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell several of Gorham’s patterns in Canada such as Chantilly and Pompadour. Birks acquired several more designs from Gorham and other manufacturers later in the century and also designed a few of their own patterns like Tudor and Laurentian. Birks manufactured their own flatware and some of their hollowware in their factory in Montreal up until the early 1990s when the factory was closed and production was moved offshore. In the early part of the century, the factory employed nearly 300 people. Some of their hollowware was purchased from manufacturers in the UK and the US and sold under the Birks label.

Birks sterling marks varied throughout their history which helps us to date their pieces."
