Description

Guess whose father doesn't like crocodile? Guess whose mother didn't mention until after the present ordered for Father's Day from overseas had already shipped? CIRCE!

Up for sale is this gorgeous new "old stock" black patent leather crocodile wallet with 18k gold fittings. It has full British hallmarks indicating that it was manufactured in Birmingham at 1996 at the earliest (though there's no way to tell if the endpieces were made prior to the construction of the billfold). For a piece that might be almost 20 years old, this is in spectacular condition: it was never used, still contains the original cardboard fitting sheets, and comes with its original dustbag and box. Ordered from a little shop I love in London ... my loss, your gain!

Dunhill's isn't making genuine croc wallets this season, so I can't link to a direct comparison ... but for a similar standard of prestige/reputation, here's one by Smythson (without the gold fittings) selling for over 4k: http://www.smythson.com/us/black-wilde-slim-travel-wallet.html
