A brilliant gold finish to this one, a few implements inside, bodkin with crochet hook on one side; a gold toothpick with ear wax spoon, a hinged 2-page note pad, a pencil which surely doesn't not really belong. It is missing a few tools, based on my fairly vase knowledge of these 18th century vest pocket etui, it would have a pocket knife, a scissors, likely a stiletto.  The real plus is the etui itself, while I haven't tested to see if it has karat gold surface, I find no French silver punch marks or I'd say it's vermeil. Full measurements noted on the photos.

Very good to excellent condition for the gold etui, and implements inside as they are. No breaks to the 2-leaf notepad. The ear wax spoon/toothpick combo is bent, as shown. Pencil is not original and I suspect the crochet/bodkin also is not original. Closing out.
