Personal grooming items are represented by manual hair clippers, a The Mona Clipper box, a pack of 7 O’Clock safety razor blades, and a decorative comb with a silver-toned repoussé back. Further items include a metal knight figurine in armour, a small brass elephant, an enameled trinket egg, a metal card case with an applied enamel horse emblem, a metal desk bell with a wooden handle, and a small Casse-Tête Les Anneaux de Feu matchbox. Materials observed include brass, wood, leather, enamel, and various base metals.

Condition report:
Items across the lot exhibit varying degrees of age-related wear. Visible oxidation and surface pitting are present on several metal components, particularly the manual clippers and corkscrew. The wooden desk blotter shows staining and wear to the blotting surface. The foam insert within the gold-toned desk set case shows significant degradation and crumbling. Original packaging for the Rolls Razor and other boxed items shows shelf wear, scuffing, and minor structural weakening. The Dalvey clock and its case appear to be in good decorative order.
