    Description

    Lovely, good condition aide memoire / dance card / carnet de bal / chatelaine note book / tally book.  Covers are smooth celluloid, the front with a central solid silver cartouche which was never monogrammed.  Also, two silver hearts appear on the bottom front corners.  There are 5 clean French ivory or thin bone "pages" in between.  All pages are connected by a bale through a top hole.
    Excellent condition for age.  All pages intact without tearing, chipping, or breaks.  No permanent marks from previous writers.  Bale present.  Ever so slight warp, but item lays substantially flat.  Silver unpolished and unmarked but guaranteed as a pure silver alloy (probably 925 sterling).

    Booklet: 2.75" Long x 2 1/8" Wide x 1/8" Deep.
    Bale: Adds 7/8" in Length
    Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping.  Please ask me for specific quote if you feel shipping cost is too high.  I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials.
    Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles.  On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views.
    The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge.  If you have a question on an item prior to purchase, please ask. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
