[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 9424836, member: 8363"]I sure missed everyone here while I traveled to Indochina. I got back three weeks ago but had a pile of things to do before coming here to enjoy myself. I have questions about this box of writing instruments and am hoping to hear what you think. The box is wood with a metal button snap closure. It is 9 1/4 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1 1/4 inches tall. The box has three compartments. I get the feeling that the items inside were used and then put away and forgotten. The top has a scene and is slightly curved. There is a label on the bottom with "95" and the rest is indecipherable to me. The items inside include: [LIST=1] [*]An Eversharp Mechanical Pencil - Silver Plate [*]A handmade, well-used, wood ruler [*]A lavender dip pen with a mark [*]A dip pen that was made to look like bamboo [*]A black dip pen [*]A hook of unknown purpose? [*]Several nibs with one that is marked in French [/LIST] Please if any one has a lead or ideas especially about age, I would very much appreciate it.
