Embossed Brass Butterfly Pen Wipe beer stein with fox and hand-painted with glorious colorThere is a certain blurry line between old pen wipes and needle books, but I'm sure this is the former, especially due to the smooth black fabric inside, of which there are only two "pages" with the black of course matching the color of the ink this would for the most part be wiping! It's the embossed brass butterfly on the face that sold me, all done by hand like a pin prick drawing, and then riveted the suede cover along the top of the back.
