    Hi all and happy new year!
    Can anyone help me with a date/time period for this beautiful nail/manicure set. The scissors inside is marked Sheffield England.
    Thanks in advance.

    It looks 1960s to me, but let's wait for the others.

    Sixties into very early 70s, agreed. That floral pattern shouts it.

    I notice the scissors look very different. It’s possible one pair is from another set.

    I noticed the same. I'm thinking that instead of scissors, the "bottom slot" in the case (as photographed) should hold another white-handled nail utensil.

    I also believe this is probably a ca.1960's set.

    Middle scissors are correct for a decent set, the bottom ones are from a lesser one. I'd suspect the gap had those wooden thingies.

    The thingy with the pointy endy bit at the other end, yup.
