Grooming implements [razors, scissors, brush, mirror, talcum tube] housed in black leather case with gilt embossed maker-mark: “Warranted by Tomes, Son & Melvain/ New York.” This small trunk-like case measures 9” in length, 4.25” in width, and 3.75” in height. Front key lock [key missing]. Brass hinged case built to fold open, revealing double compartments fastened with ribbon brass sliding clasp. One compartment lid holds a pair of scissors, and two ebony-handled, leather-slotted straight razors, with blade maker-mark: “Joseph Rodgers & Sons/ Cutlers to Their Majesties/ No. 6 Norfolk St. Sheffield [England].” This particular compartment contains brush, talcum powder tube, & small wooden box. The other compartment contains an inner lid-length mirror and is empty.
In terms of condition, the black outer leather exhibits light wear & scuffing. Black interior lining exhibits light soiling on one side, and is pristine on the other. The straight razors have bright blades & handles & are stunningly attractive. In all, an excellent collectible.
