As both metals were manufactured in the same manner, one description will serve. It will be remembered by a few that at that time there was a patent silver pencil case somewhat extensively manufactured, which in addition to the pencil, had a penknife, pen and toothpick provided.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
