A small tin with a hinged lid with a green label reading 'Best brass, paper fasteners, with the patent inserter'... the label text is obscured by a further label stuck on top with text scribbled out on it, but continues 'The Midland Educational Co. Ltd, Birmingham'. Inside are assorted rusted metal items including pen nibs, hooks and tacks. There is also two small pieces of chalk.
