Step back into the "Dapper Gentleman" era with this comprehensive antique travel grooming set. Housed in a rich, tan leather zip-around case, this kit features an impressive array of black celluloid (or early Bakelite) accessories. This is a quintessential example of Art Deco utility, likely dating from the late 1920s to the 1930s.

Condition Report

• Leather: The case is in sturdy condition with a beautiful vintage patina. The zipper is functional.

• Interior: The tan lining shows some light staining/foxing consistent with its 100-year age, but the leather straps remain supple and secure.

• Accessories: The black celluloid pieces are excellent—glossy with no major cracks. One brush shows some age-related wear to the bristles, but they remain intact.

• Note: The small glass bottle still retains its original "Lotion" label, which is a rare find for collectors.
