This is an antique leather card case featuring sterling silver fittings by Lucas Brothers, made in Birmingham, England, in 1892..
Crafted from high-quality black leather with a beautiful grained finish, this piece features a luxurious Victorian-style contrast: upon opening, it reveals vibrant royal blue moiré silk and camel leather pockets. The included nickel alloy pencil doubles as a hinge pin, showcasing the practicality and playfulness of the era, where the pen must be removed to open or close the case..
It is believed that this was originally a "betting book" carried by gentlemen at racecourses to store betting slips and race cards, and to jot down odds. Today, it is sized perfectly to hold business cards or credit cards, adding a touch of sophisticated flair to your business or formal occasions..
