Summary
A round, wooden Victorian writing tablet for marking linen. A red and white label is stuck in the centre with 'John Bond's "Crystal Palace"' and an image of the Crystal Palace. The middle piece, with the label, should come out of the wooden ring around it but this one is very stuck. This object was found in a mahogany table (CMS no. 997561.1).
