Description:
Calling card case, made with ivory covers. The front cover has a cut-work silver monogram panel on it, with the initials “E.A.B.” engraved in flowery script. Holding the two covers closed together is an ivory pencil which slots into loops fo the covers - it has a turned ivory stem with lead holder at base, and was used for leaving notes on your calling cards. Inside there are royal blue, gilded edge concertina-style card compartments. This item is faulted - the front cover has parted company with the rest - it was only ever held together by the pencil on one side, and a slim piece of card and the first card compartment on the other. The first two compartments are gone, and there are seven remaining. Could be repaired using archive tape or similar. Case measures 108 mm by 74 mm and about 14 mm thick (4.1/4 inches by 2.7/8 inches and 1/2 inch thick). Pencil is about 5 mm diameter and 108 mm long (3/16 inch by 4.1/4 inches). It is in very good condition.
