Vintage Kigu Folding Comb Set, Engraved Gertie, Gold Tone Faux Tortoiseshell
A wonderful vintage Kigu folding comb set, complete with its original gold tone case and faux tortoiseshell comb, beautifully engraved with the name “Gertie.” Pieces like this carry such charm — one can easily imagine it tucked into a handbag for evenings out, dance halls, theatre trips or careful everyday use.
The case features an elegant engine-turned finish with decorative detailing to each end and opens to reveal a rich tortoiseshell-effect comb that folds neatly inside. The personal engraving adds warmth and character, making this a particularly appealing and evocative mid-century vanity accessory.
Condition is very good overall, with light age-related wear to the gilt tone case consistent with vintage use. The comb is in lovely order with no visible losses and displays beautifully.
A romantic and collectible piece with timeless appeal — perfect for collectors or as a thoughtful vintage gift.
