Today is my birthday and Maria, my lovely wife bought me a writing slope. I have always wanted a vintage writing slope so here it is.
 |
| I just love boxes of all kinds. |
 |
| The leather slope is in good condition. |
 |
| It looks great opened out. |
 |
| I have paper, envelopes and blotting paper stowed away in there. |
 |
| This is a fascinating label. |
The label tells me that this box was a prize awarded to Mr W Morgan in 1914 in Birmingham. This is definitely something that needs to be researched.
I can now look out for a little vintage ink pot and I intend to increase my collection of fountain pens.
I have already written a letter using the slope. How many people apart from Mr Morgan has done this I ask myself, where has the box been for the last 100 years, so many interesting questions.
What a fabulous birthday gift.
