Lancet Case - Tortoise Shell (18th Century)

 

A very nice tortoise shell etui in similar style to the 6 lancet case (above in the Etui section) but with additional bands of silver trim on the top and the bottom of the case. The top of the lid has a sterling silver cartouche without engraving. The tortoise shell is in excellent condition apart from a single superficial 2mm scuff shown in the last picture. The hinge lid and catch are all in very good condition and the lid closes tightly. The two matching tortoise shell lancets are in excellent condition and are marked "Hunter". Dimensions 65 x 33 x 10 mm.
