Description
 



Stunning Edwardian era Gentleman's Traveling kit intended for Equestrian travels.  I believe the case is by Peal & Co, as it came out of a trunk marked by that maker and includes marked Peal & Co. boot cuffs.  Includes:
Two sterling silver items by A & J Zimmerman of Birmingham, England, date marked 1911, one being a shaving brush and the other a cylindrical container.  Two cut glass bottles with silver lids hallmarked TJW, London, 1903.  Includes a knife/ corkscrew by George Wostenholm.  Scissors marked "Cavendish Butler Sheffield.  Soap dish and long brush case marked "Yates / Crown."  Long brush marked "Kent / Ebony."  Brush marked "France Iveryora sterilized"  Bone tongue scraper.  Two leather riding boot cuffs, each marked "Peal & Co", stainless steel boot guides and a stainless boot horn.  There is also an interesting corkscrew that is one piece, but comes apart to make a T-shape (photoed as 1 piece).  Also a file with ebony handle.  Rare to find a complete kit like this in this good of condition.  This is coming out of a Peal & Co trunk that belonged to a very wealthy Far Hills, NJ/NYC family around the turn of the century.  The bottles are engraved "McI", yet it descended in the family of a 19th century Boot maker firm based in NYC.  As a fine riding boot maker, they had the finest in leather goods.    Condition:  Excellent.  Appears this case was rarely ever used.  Museum quality.  Has a wonderful smell of leather when opend up.Measurements:
