A superb 18th lancet case made from sharkskin (shagreen). The top is secured with a silver band and has a silver cartouche which has not been inscribed. The silver catch and hinge (secured with 6 silver pins) close with a crisp and firm click. There are four horn thumb lancets, two marked Charrière, one marked Audrey and one marked Blank de Paris. One side of one of the horn covers is shorter from being moth eaten.
