ITEM DESCRIPTION
Please note: I have added 51 large photos to the end of this listing to try and show the items in as much detail as possible so please take the time to view them all carefully.
This is a really nice antique 9 piece silver topped vanity set in its own bespoke brown crocodile leather case. The case has a nice gilt embossed J.J. monogram on the lid.

A shoehorn (hallmarked 1922, maker's mark is obscured)
A hand mirror (hallmarked 1917 with maker's mark HM)

Postage policies:
International overseas buyers please read this first - I use Global Shipping Program - GSP to send items to you.
GSP sorts any paperwork etc. which enables items to get through customs much faster than other delivery company.
I am offering FREE postage to the GSP hub in the UK.
GSP then decide on the cost of shipping, sales tax, and possible other charges etc. - All this information can found on the listing BEFORE bidding or buying.
I have no control over the prices that GSP set.
Unfortunately GSP do open the packages they receive to check the contents and then re-wrap them for the forward journey to you. This has caused some issues in the past so please take my word that I personally wrap all items as best I can to survive the trip, but GSP sometimes do not take as much care as I do when re-wrapping.
The shipping time is usually very quick but as you can appreciate there may be delays for any number of reasons which are out of both mine and your control. Thank you.
I now offer FREE shipping - postage on the majority of my eBay items. You can also arrange to COLLECT your item from my actual antique shop if that is easier for you.
If you see A/F = a/f in the title or description it means "as found" condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 45 years.
