This is a superb leather briefcase made from top grain hide (that is what it actually says) and made by W. Pocknall of Victoria. In excellent condition. Must be quite old as someone has written a 6 digit phone number inside. It has 3 large comaprtments inside which are easiliy accessible, plus a large zipped pouch out front. The two locks have 3 poisitions depending on how full the bag is. The size of the bag is approximately 40 cms x 30 cms (not including the handle).

A fabulous set of meditation beeds...1.6 to 1.7 m in length...seems to be constructed from some sort of dried seed, a bit similar to a date palm seed or coffee bean perhaps. In excellent condition. VERY RELAXING!!

This is a rare find. A turtoise shell shaving mug with a milk glass insert. In very good aged condition.

This is a lovely gold tone Guilloche design with floral glass/enamel powder compact.

Quite stunning!!

The guilloche design is on the front back and inside panel. A catch opens up the powder compartment. The mirrir is in excellent condition...imprinted into the metal are the words PATENTED then MADE IN ENGLAND. This make me think it is an early compact of this design, possibly c1920-1930. The flowers and leaves seems to be embedded inside glass. On the inside panel there a symbol which looks like two "W" overwritten...underneath is a trianglaur region with the letters KG, first line, followed by an I then a U.

The diameter of the compact is about 7.5 cms or 3 inches.

This is a lovely pair of vintage opera glasses covered with mother of pearl. I suspect they are French. On the front they are inscribed 1903. there are also soem scipt lettering but I am unable to make out what it says, possibly MT or MF. They are quite lovely and hard to find in such good condition.
