Simple elegance in form and function, this beautiful old tortoise shell cigar case with leather baffle expanding side panels is in fine condition. No chips or cracks in that fine antique tortoise shell exterior, and an interior suprisingly well preserved (a bit of brass polish here or there to be gently cleaned off, but no tears or substantial deterioration we often see in these). Even the little patch of emery board 'striker' is intact, original. I love that this one has a brass frame, as the gold tones are so beautiful with the torties, don't you agree?

Very good condition. Just as fine as can be and all the more so with a very reasonable price.
