Nice man's leather travel kit. antique. Beckers of DC

Talk about a great gift idea. Here is a piece that no one else your man knows is likely to ever see, let alone receive as a gift. This is a leather Travel Kit by Becker's that dates to the 40's and 50's and was sold in the exclusive Becker's of Washington in downtown DC.
When I first noticed this piece I was surprised by how nice it looked, considering it had to be at least 50 years old. Then when I opened it and saw the wonderful condition of all the pieces contained inside, I didn't hesitate to buy it. This classic brown grained leather men's travel kit was made for and sold by Becker's of Washington. Becker's was a high end gentleman's shop that catered to wealthy businessmen and politicians who frequented the shops back when downtown Washington was at the height of its popularity. This travel kit measures roughly 8 by 10 by 2 inches, but has enough room to safely carry as many personal grooming accessories as other bags twice its size. The brass zipper works perfectly and the extra durable bakelite accessory pieces are featured in a classic a tortoise shell color and pattern. The kit contains the following ; long comb, small trimmer, nail file, two different size brushes, hand mirror, one large and one small rectangle boxes for toiletries or shaving gear, a toothbrush holder, eyeglass tube and even a shoe horn. There is still more room to fit a few small items that had not been around back when this kit was being made for men, but they didn't miss much.
What could be better than an antique travel kit that will outlast other kits that haven't even been made yet? Talk about a unique gift for him..

Rare Photographer's Dark Room Oil Lantern C1900 Here is a very unusual old oil lantern from the early 1900's. This old lamp is a photographer's Dark Room lamp. It is in quite nice condition for its age and comes complete with a darkening shutter, and a red glass lens. The lens has turned to more of an orange color over time, but the glass is original and in good shape. The lamp was made by the RO&C co. and is called a Universal No'2. This information is found on the black out shutter. There is even an adjustable draft vent on the top and what is really rare, the filler cap, wick, burner and even the latch that holds the lamp shut are all in good working order. There is a finger loop for carrying the lamp too.
If you have someone special who is also into photography, this little old lamp would make a great gift.
