1894 Van Hornesville, NY First Annual Odd Fellows Ball Invitation Flores Imperio candleholders revealing fat stripe of dentine

revealing fat stripe of dentine straight down the length of the belly

I've divided them into a few pairs

and her working in a shop

British I believe and I'd guess made of boxwood

with the only loss I believe a bit of the black horsehair at the end

With three gold links from which that blue banner hangs. Looks like silkscreen to me, printed on the face of an invitation to the First Annual Ball of the the Van Hornesville (NY) Lodge, 1894 to which "yourself and ladies" were invited! 5" x 3 1 2" closed. Dramatic toning to the front, which I like.
