Description
This is an antique brass penner, also known as a portable pen case or writing compendium.
Penners were used to carry writing implements such as quills and ink while traveling. They were essential for scholars, merchants, and notaries until the late 18th century.
This particular example appears to be a traveling penner, which would have contained a pen, inkwell, and possibly other tools.
Some penners were made with compartments to store quills and other tools without damaging them.
