Description
This eclectic collection of mid-20th-century personal accessories comprises several distinct items representing period grooming and daily life. The lot includes two folding hair-thinning razors featuring comb-style steel blades, each stamped MADE IN SHEFFIELD ENGL, fitted with cream-coloured celluloid or plastic scales. Also present is a vintage red Great Britain Driving Licence paper booklet. A notable inclusion is a faux-tortoiseshell folding case, likely intended for cards or a small notepad, which bears the gold-stamped inscription SOFOG Société des Comptoirs de Genève. Smoking-related items include two white cigarette holders, one of which is distinguished by a decorative amber-toned tip featuring a hand-carved floral motif. The collection is completed by a novelty brass-tone bullet-shaped ballpoint pen attached to a keychain. These items serve as a social history record of mid-century personal carry. Driving Licence: 3 inches x 2.25 inches. Folding Case: 4 inches x 2.75 inches. Razors: 5.5 inches (closed length).
