This lot features a pair of vintage Peacock brand catalytic hand warmers, manufactured in Japan. These classic outdoor accessories are constructed from polished chrome-plated metal, designed to provide flameless heat through a catalytic combustion process. Each warmer measures approximately 4 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide and 0.75 inches deep, featuring a distinctive perforated top cover for heat emission. One warmer is marked "MADE IN JAPAN" and the other "PEACOCK", indicating their origin and brand. Included is a dark green felt pouch, likely original, for carrying one of the warmers. These hand warmers were popular for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and anyone needing portable warmth during colder months, known for their efficiency and durability.
Condition: Good. Both hand warmers show honest wear consistent with age and use. There are numerous surface scratches and scuffs on the chrome finish of both units, as visible in the photographs. The felt pouch is intact with some minor wear but no significant damage. The catalytic elements are not included, as is common with vintage warmers, and would need to be replaced for functionality. The overall structural integrity of both warmers is sound, with no dents or major damage. They present well as collectible vintage outdoor gear.
