Of special interest for collectors of French vanity sets and fine hand crafted Napoleon Era and post-Napoleon field kits, this is a magnificent fitted box with original mirror and silk pad within, protecting the carved handle and 7 tooth cleaning and dental implements within. Perhaps they're not all dental, but I see some that definitely are, including a de-scaler, and toothpick with curved end. I've only ever found 4 of these sets and this one is in good condition overall. Full measurements noted on the photos, but that box is just 3 3/8" x 3 1/4" x 1". Amazing! I believe the sets were made primarily by a company called Touron, Paris, but this one has a marketer's embossment which says "Collin, Paris" but water damage to the silk of the inner lid prevents me seeing more of the embossment.
Very good condition for age and type. Around 200 - 190 years old, the outer box is in remarkably fine condition with both latches intact. Within, the original silk padded lid lining remains but is stained inside the lid. Tempting to put a mirror in there, which is how many of these are fitted. The hexigon-carved handle is wood. Each tool screw-mounts into the same handle and offers a full set. Well, 1 tool 'fold' is not filled, so perhaps 1 tool has been lost.
