This is a rare cigar cutter in the form of a jockey.

The figure is nicely detailed with a jockey cap, boots, tunic and breeches.

His arms are holding stirrups and the base is in the form of a horse shoe.

The figure is articulated and sprung, so he moves on his shoulder joints and swings backwards to reveal the blade.

Place your cheroot in the small hole in the horse shoe and use the blade to cut your cigar.

The cutter has a suspension ring, allowing you to attach it to a watch chain.

The fob measures 37mm x 14mm x 14mm

The fob is in 95% mint condition
