[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 9562167, member: 360"]Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. The shopkeeper insisted it was a bookmark. I'm not sure how he arrived at that conclusion, but I saw no reason to question it at the time. It's very small. Fully open - 6 inches by 1 inch. And the leather and velvet are the wrong type to strop a razor on (and not long enough to do that, anyway). It appears to be Moroccan leather, paper/cardboard, and then velvet. I honestly couldn't answer this. Not a pen-wiper - no evidence of ink-staining, etc. I can't imagine what something like this is, that it would be necessary (or even desirable) to keep it stored in a STERLING SILVER CASE of all things. If anybody has any ideas about what it REALLY is, please let me know!![/QUOTE]
