Antique French Tortoise Shell Cigar or Spectacles Case, Etui - Tortoiseshell & Pique serving set Glass eyes are brown glassCertainly a Napoleon III era piece, with this very Victorian (Napoleon III) "Japonaise" inspired theme in the silver and abalone, mother of pearl inlays.

More one you'll want to display than to use, but a beauty for display! No flaws to the shell front or back, however, and a fine case for use
