    Description

    What a marvelous present to give to a friend at parting!  The hand-painted inscription reads: "Forget me not" - in other words, "Please write!"
    It is in great condition for age and use.  One split in the wood on the top (see picture) which is a typical effect of shrinkage with age.  It does not affect the integrity of the piece.
    Inside are the original contents: an 1800s pencil, a dip pen and a tiny wooden ruler.
    This needs a special place for display, and I no longer have that.
    13" long when closed.  1" diameter at largest point.
