Two Black Crocodile Agendas, one Hermes
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
French, 1959 and circa 1960 respectively, the first designed as a simple black crocodile agenda, the interior with fittings for an agenda or address book, the interior labeled in embossed gilt "Hermes/Made in France" and with blindstamp O denoting the year 1959, completed by its original pen stamped "Hermes" and with makers mark, the second agenda being a smaller model with interior fitting for an address book and with original Hermes address pages, one side trimmed in gold tone metal and completed by a gold tone metal pencil, the address book apparently unmarked except for makers mark to the metal frame.

large 5.25 x 3.5 in.; small 4 x 3 in.

While the gold metal trimmed agenda is unsigned and we cannot guarantee it to be Hermes, both agendas came from the same original owner and the makers mark to the unsigned agenda's frame is one which is known for being a producer of various metal and metal trimmed accessories for Hermes in the mid 20th century.

Both in excellent condition for age; the larger agenda having a somewhat more dull finish than the smaller example but could be re-glazed; no actual damage to skins.

$200 - 400
