The lot includes a drafting and mathematical instrument set contained within a hinged wooden case with a green velvet-lined interior, featuring various brass and steel instruments including compasses and dividers. The interior lid displays a circular gold-coloured maker’s emblem. Also present is a Mikimoto International writing set in a navy blue presentation box with cream satin lining, marked MIKIMOTO international, containing a gold-tone pen with a pink barrel and a tan leather pouch on a chain. The collection features a circular brass-cased aneroid barometer with a glass face and scales for Stormy, Rain, Change, Fair, and Very Dry, with a visible internal mechanism. Further items include a wooden Unfailing Promises religious box with a printed paper label, a Harrods Personal Seal Set with wax in a green cardboard box, two circular Eddie Stobart Collection tins, and a pocket chess set in a textured black box. Scientific and desktop objects include a small globe on a three-legged brass-finish stand and a miniature brass miner’s safety lamp.

Singer measuring stick: 8 inches visible.
