Set of 4 cigar cutters, one of which is covered in crocodile - Lot 54
Set of 4 cigar cutters, one of which is covered in crocodile-patterned leather and fully gilded, from the German brand DONATUS, in its box. Featuring a notched blade, it was used to open cigar boxes with nailed-down lids; a spring-loaded mechanism would cut a notched opening into the head of the cigar.
This system was widely used until the 1970s, when it was replaced by scissor-style cigar cutters.
From L_13.5 to L_20 cm.
Included is a stainless steel ashtray weighted with a leather sandbag, all resting on a small dish also made of stainless steel. A typical piece from the 1960s.
D_9.5 cm.
