Featuring faux tortoiseshell celluloid folding tools with an ivory-toned handle engraved “HOTEL WOODBINE TORONTO,” this diminutive grooming piece is a wonderful example of Canadian hotel advertising memorabilia. Compact enough for a gentleman’s travel kit or vanity set, it captures the elegance and novelty of Edwardian-era personal accessories.
Likely dating to the 1910s–1920s, this piece combines practical grooming functionality with collectible Toronto history. The warm tortoise-style celluloid has beautiful variation and patina consistent with age.
