Would I want the brass cigarette case Nora Barnacle gave James Joyce for his birthday? yes I said yes I will Yes.
Via Honey and Wax (always worth keeping an eye on; excellent books):
"Brass cigarette case presented by Nora Barnacle to James Joyce on his 44th birthday in 1926, given by their daughter Lucia to the nurse who cared for her at St. Andrew’s Hospital in the last years of her life. From the British dealer Mike Kemp."
