<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 1405932, member: 1067"]The piece that looks a bit like tweezers in the middle with the round screw bit on the sides is a ruling pen. You filled it with watercolour paint or ink and attached the nib to a pen like handle and drew lines on mount board to surround a watercolour painting or print. The little case on the left would usually contain leads for the pencil attachments. It’s a specialist drawing set but I’m not sure what the large pieces are for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
