Pleximeter and Percussor Antique

 
A cased graduated ivory pleximeter and ebony percussor. There are signs of use over the sweet spot where the percussor has struck the ivory, but no damage. The percussor has an ebony handle with one recess for the thumb on one side and two on the other for the index and middle fingers. It is in excellent condition with the head secured in place by means of an ivory sliver. The embossed and decorated burgundy Moroccan leather with red silk and velvet lining is in superb condition as are the catches and hinges. A rare and complete set with all original components (see Bennion P 163)
