<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owliza, post: 4495720, member: 20298&quot;]I think, rather than an etui, you have the back end of a Stanhope dip pen. I have one almost the same (picture missing) and a similar letter opener (pic is of the “Mid-Winter’s Fair: Manufacturer’s Buildings”.&nbsp;&nbsp; It looks like the main building from the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894 (demolished same year),&nbsp; so we have a start date. The image itself is marked Made in France. I am trying to get pics to upload but they are too big and it is 3am so will try again tomorrow <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. This pen is close to mine... <a href="https://www.stanhopemicroworks.com/antest23011-carved-bone-niagara-falls-stanhope-dip-pen" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.stanhopemicroworks.com/antest23011-carved-bone-niagara-falls-stanhope-dip-pen" rel="nofollow">https://www.stanhopemicroworks.com/antest23011-carved-bone-niagara-falls-stanhope-dip-pen</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
