[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 260063, member: 360"]Blablablablablablablabla... It is Victorian. It is called an Aide de Memoir, or an Aide Memoir. Usually made of silver or silver-plate, celluloid, or paper or ivory. They served as little notepads for you to write memos in (hence 'aide memoir'). They were made for men and women. If it has a ring on it, then it would've hung from a chatelaine, but there were plenty which did not. They were pretty common and were made of copper, brass, silver, and silver-plate. I have three which are made entirely of ivory.[/QUOTE]
