Vintage Crocodile Skin Covered Cigarette Case - Colibri




SOLD

Vintage cigarette case by Colibri in gold coloured metal with what appears to be a genuine crocodile or snake skin leather covering, although I make no claims for the material at all except that very close examination through a lens suggests it quite possibly is. The case has a sprung hinge and has a spring clip that holds well. There is also a clip on one side to hold the cigarettes in place and again, this works well. There are only the lightest of marks on the inside and very few marks to the covering. A nice looking retro item
13.5cm x 8.5cm

Vintage Leather Stud Box



SOLD

Cylindrical stitched hide and board gentleman's stud box. The embossed "Studs" on the lid would probably have been gold at one time; the stitching has also discoloured around the lid through use and one stitch down the seam has frayed slightly but it's in generally very good condition and has plenty of life left in it yet.

5.2cm x 5.2cm

Leather £1 Coin Holder - Used - Collectable!



SOLD

As the current beer tokens are being phased out to be replaced by the new thruppeny bit ones, these will become something of collector's pieces. Why not get in at the start with this prime example? It's an English made leather and metal sprung tube. I have no idea how many coins this holds, I never seem to have enough about me to test it, but looks to be about 15. The leather and gold stamp are in excellent condition, the metal somewhat tired looking with the plating worn away in parts  but still good overall and perfectly serviceable.
