Octopus Brass Etched Wallet / Cigarette Case retailer in Steampunk Victorian -- Acid Bath Series

Acid etched Octopus swims on a filigree metal sea on this wallet or cigarette case.

Vintage image is acid etched in solid brass. Fixed with hand forged rivets to the NEW case, which has been scratched up and blackened to an antique patina. All lacquered and waxed so the finish will last. Double elastic bands inside keep your king-sized cigs & dollars, plastic, biz cards in place. Inner dimensions 3 1/2" long x 2 1/2" wide x 1/2 " deep (each side). These small-batch etchings are done in-house and vary with each dipping, so no two are ever exactly alike!

For made to order goods, please allow 10 business days to produce, prior to shipping. Readymade goods will ship within 3 business days of purchase. All items boxed for easy gifting.

Moby Dick, Ch. LIX, "Squid":
"As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed--'Almost rather had I seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!'
"'What was it, Sir?,' said Flask.
"'The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld, and returned to their retailer ports to tell of it.'"
--Herman Melville
