    I'm not certain of the composition, resin, I assume. Pen and pencil
    are unusual in that 2 distinct lines are seen in mottled pattern.
    There is no overt crazing, but when viewed with 20x loupe there is
    difficult-to-see very fine crazing, I think.
    Leather, oval, zippered case. Blue leather, unmarked. Fabric inside.
    Two leather loops. 14 or so cm long. Very nice.
