German Leather 6-Pipe Tobacco Accessory Case Pre Used Vintage

A small brass-tone metal emblem sits near a lower corner of the front, the army badge of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and behind it this hard German leather case opens flat to carry six pipes and their tools. This is a black hard leather case for six smoking pipes and accessories, with an attached, removable tobacco pouch.

A zip runs round the edge, and the case opens like a book. One half carries a row of six leather loops for the pipes. The other half carries a flat pocket closed by press studs, a small leather loop at each top corner and a short double leather strap in the middle. The tobacco pouch is its own leather pocket, closed by press studs; it is attached and can be taken out. A leather handle on top carries the case.

THE MARKS

- No maker's name or stamp on the case
- A brass-tone metal emblem on the front: the army badge of the Austro-Hungarian empire

A case of this kind is how a smoker carries a small rotation of pipes: each pipe sits in its own loop, and the tools, the tobacco and the pouch travel in the same case.

The exact age of the case is not known; it may well be older than any of us.

Condition: pre-used and vintage, with dents and hair cracks in the leather from long use.
