Glass Pen Holder early 1900s
Glass Pen Holder
There is a cradle to hold a pen across the back
But what are the indents for?
Nib holder?
Blotter holder?
Paper clip holder? Nah, they didn't have paper clips early 1900's did they?
Has the brilliance of crystal, so I'm not sure whether it's glass or crystal
In excellent order, no chips
Lattice pattern on base
Made in England

๐ผ Surprising Spring Gardening Tip for NZ ๐ผ
Bury a banana peel near the roots of your rose bushes or tomato plants! ๐๐น๐
The peel releases potassium, phosphorus, and calcium as it decomposes, giving your plants a natural nutrient boost. It helps strengthen stems, promotes flowering, and even improves fruit quality. ๐ผ๐
Next time you snack on a banana, don't throw away the peel - use it to supercharge your garden!
