The eyepieces are made of mother-of-pearl and are incised with the marks H U E T and P A R I S. These are accompanied by a black leather-covered hard case with a velvet-lined interior. A cylindrical metal service whistle is stamped J. HUDSON and CO BIRMINGHAM 1943 above a Broad Arrow ordnance mark. The lot also includes an assortment of cigarette and trade cards.
