A charming rectangular school pencil case made of painted wood, with a sliding lid, bearing the handwritten inscription "Plumier" in cursive script. The interior, compartmentalized and stained black, is designed to hold metal nibs, a pen holder, and a small round compartment for an inkwell or erasers. This everyday school item evokes mid-20th-century school desks and retains the authentic signs of use that give it its charm: scratches, wear, minor paint loss, but the structure remains intact. A fine example of a popular, utilitarian object, as decorative as it is evocative.
