LOVE, Early Punch Paper Embroidery on Ribbon sea moss album with the wire stitching on

with the wire stitching on the backside of the brush creating a gorgeous line drawing that animates the already beautiful surface of what I believe is burl wood

8 1/4" x 4" x 5/8" as mounted to wood block via nice bit fat nails

Really a very satisfying thing that delivers pleasure every time you look at it

There is one dent on the top

These are from a first edition 1949 WISC IQ test set
