... ready for the next letter.... blotting paper had yet to be invented.....it is in very good condition, with a few little nicks to the inside of the threads, out of sight and the pounce pot still closes tightly.....and a small shrinkage crack under the base, which goes nowhere and is just on the surface....(see pictures).....altogether a very nice complete example of these collectable pieces of treen.
