Description: | The note case exhibits neat stitching, although the preparer stained/marked the leather in producing the 'Mark Cross' mark, either by too great an exposure to heat or by wiping too much oil over the insignia once it was stamped, something which is done to lessen the glare of the gold. This flaw would have made the item a second. The turned edge work, while good, is also not flawless. The pockets are lined with sheepskin or a convincing paper substitute. It is stitched 15 or 16 stitches to the inch.
