A fine mid - 1800s’ tortoise shell aide d’ memoire is a typical accoutrement of 19th century society’s penchant for visiting or calling cards, agendas, etc. In the 1800s this would have been your tool for jotting down notes, memos, or appointments. A panel pouch on the inside is for your calling cards, and another for those of friends or business appointments. The self-clasp is held by the tiny pencil or stylus that attended the set. These came in an astonishing array of style choices, and price ranges; the old tortoise shells were a standout and remain as elegant today as then. Excellent condition for age. Measurements (closed) are 2.75 x 4 inches.
