Mini Story

A characterful Fifth Avenue gentleman’s grooming kit, personalised with the monogram J.G.C. Compact and practical, these kits were designed for travel or bedside use, allowing a gentleman to maintain his appearance wherever he went.

While the toothbrush and shaving brush are no longer present, the original fitted tubes remain, along with two functional grooming brushes and the Fifth Avenue–marked bottle. A nice example of early 20th-century personal accessories that displays well and tells a quiet story of everyday refinement.
