Figured these would go higher. Now to source a suitable period case. Maybe one of those wooden coffins made for pairs...

I put an $88.88 bid in with 50 seconds to go and let it rip....pretty shocked when I refreshed the page. They are fairly basic late 1800's sheffield made for a retailer of fine Gentleman's accessories. W. Gay & Son had a myriad of leather items, fancy campaign boxes, and accouterments. I liked the personalized scales except I can't figure out the two small "5's" stamped near the pins? Maybe symbolizing 5/8?Quote:
