The Chandler's Box

Recall Bob Cratchet, Tiny Tim’s father in A Christmas Carol? Working all day at his high desk, filling papers in long-hand, applying seal wax, and balancing books. Inspired by the dickens era and its people’s impressive mastery of elegant script and prose, we have the pleasure of issuing a new larger companion to our Traveller’s Writing Chest. Filled with all the paraphernalia to write an impressive document, which in the end needs to be sealed and stamped in wax. Brass melting spoon, three beautifully turned wood and brass seals, a miniature travel burner to melt the wax, red and silver seal was in pellets and bars. Glass and wood stylus, generous supply of carious brass nibs and six assorted inks, in wonderful colors: Turquoise, Bordeaux, Tobacco, Verde, Auburn and Indigo. All this in a handsome brass-bound wood box with lid and latches. Enjoy the power of the written word.

Leather Journal/Black
The thought of filling journals with rich prose and elegant and clever sketches is appealing one. Some can do it on the kitchen table, using a simple writing block. Others, less confident, prefer elegant binding, pleasant to hold, looking good on a desk. To encourage use, inspire and cajole, we included a 16-page brochure on how to create an interesting and memorable journal. Just in case.
