These ingenious miniature travel companions are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such a largely, almost, complete condition. The fitted interior contains an exceptional selection of original tools and accessories, including scissors, spoon and fork implements, a hinged draftsman’s ruler, toothpick with ear spoon terminal, and other useful travelling accessories, some may have been added ovcer the years — remarkable examples of 19th-century ingenuity and craftsmanship.

The set remains complete aside from the main extension handle for the interchangeable implements. The terminal end piece for the handle is still present in its designated position, though the screw-mount extension itself is absent.

The silver and leather exterior remains beautifully preserved, and the case displays wonderfully with excellent antique character throughout.

Please refer to photographs for measurements and full detail.

An excellent addition for collectors of antique travel accessories, gentleman’s necessaires, Georgian and Victorian treen, silver curiosities, and scientific or vanity instruments.
