A guide for this piece: about $2,256, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Made in 2003 and stamped G in a square, a Kelly 28 Sellier in black box calf with gold-tone hardware, faint marks and one scuff, with its box and strap.
The Piece
The 28 sits between the small Kellys and the 32, and in Sellier form it keeps hard, outside-stitched edges that hold their line. In the photographs the light slides along the glazed black flap, and the gold-tone hardware gives the black its warmth.
The stamp is G in a square; collectors’ charts give it to 2003. It has faint marks and small scratches, and the front carries one scuff. Box, dust bag, padlock, key and clochette all come with it. Inside are one zip pocket and two open pockets. The edges are still sharp.
