The celebrated shagreen case-maker John Folgham illustrated a similar 'Knife Case...mounted in silver' on the trade card that he issued circa 1760. He stated that he made 'all sorts of Shagreen...and Fish Skin' knife-cases, which included a variety of 'Fish Skin of different sorts' including 'Blue or Green Dog [fish] skin' (A. Heal, The London Furniture Makers, London, 1953, p. 56).
