Description: | The leather has parted in one place, where it has been drawn to create a seam; and in places it is missing the tiny pins which retain its metal fittings. Apart from limited damage the leather is in good condition. The metal fittings appear to be of steel. On the base of the case a 'G' has been inscribed, together with some other marks. The lid of the case is slightly domed and is hinged on the opposite side to a button which operates a spring clip. The interior of the case has a number of slots for instruments. It still contains a set square, a pencil holder, a vice, dividers and a pair of compasses.
A draughtsman's case, or etui, covered in bright green shagreen leather. The case still contains some of its original contents. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Museums | Rights holder: | Walsall Museums | Subjects: | Technical drawings Walsall Leather Museum Collection | Temporal: | c.1780 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | Liford, J. | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
