Two vintage hair clippers. The first box is for a Horstman electric clipper and is finished in a teal and tan colour scheme. It features printed text for Horstman Ltd of James Street West, Bath, England, alongside the product name The Horstman Electric Clipper. The second box, for Burman manual hair clippers, displays a yellow and black graphic design. This box is printed with the manufacturer name Burman and the text Hair Clipper. It includes a handwritten inscription in pencil or ink reading RUO 29 8 on the lid. Both items exhibit mid-century graphic design and typography characteristic of period barbering equipment packaging. The internal contents of the boxes are not confirmed as they are not visible in the provided image.
Condition report:
Both boxes show signs of age-related wear and storage, including scuffed edges, corner compression, and surface staining. The Horstman box displays some discoloration and foxing to the tan sections. The Burman box has visible handwritten markings and minor creasing. Overall, the boxes remain structurally intact but show significant surface wear consistent with their age.
