    Default What is this?

    There is one antique shop on my way from the office. So, couldn't resist to pay $10.

    It's a Belgian coticule - congratulations! More than you could ever want to know about them can be found here:

    and here:

    This latter link is especially useful in helping you to identify which vein your hone came from.

    Looks like a nice coticule too. Natural combos are a little more rare than a glued to slate coticule. Very nice find!

    It's measures 6 1/2" x 2 9/32".
    Is it too small?
