Presenting a wonderful vintage genuine Robex Morocco calf leather grooming set hallmarked: Made by Lyall Robertson Victoria. 1950's circa.

There are 3 x other storage compartments for what looks like comb and sissors and tweezers which are missing, but these pieces are easily bought to replace in the kit
All pieces are original to the set, all in good condition with some marks and wear but overall in excellent vintage condition, commiserate with age
The case is in good order with some scuff and age marks inside & out ... smart, tidy & ready for action!
The zip works perfectly and still seals the case up secure and safe for travel
Inside the case is stamped “MADE BY LYALL ROBERTSON PTY LTD VICTORIA” & “ROBEX GENUINE MOROCCO”
Dimensions (approx.): L26cm x W17cm x H5cm (10"x6.7"x2")
*Dopp kit is a term particularly in use in the US for toiletry bags. The name derives from the early 20th century leather craftsman Charles Doppelt, whose company designed the case in 1926. Toiletry kits had been issued by the US military services during World War I.
*Morocco leather (also known as Levant, the French Maroquin, or German Saffian from Safi, a Moroccan town famous for leather) is a soft, pliable form of leather widely used for gloves and the uppers of ladies' shoes and men's low cut shoes, but traditionally associated with bookbindings, wallets, linings for fine luggage, and the like.
