Description: UP FOR SALE IS AN ANTIQUE CHINESE GORGEOUS LEATHER (EEL SKIN?) TRAVELING CHOPSTICK OR FAN HOLDER. I BELIEVE THEY WERE COMMONLY USED BY THE WEALTHY TO CARRY THEIR OWN CHOPSTICKS DINING OUT.AND USE THE PERSONAL CHOPSTICKS WHEN OUTSIDE OF HOME IMPARTED A SENSE OF IMPORTANCE AND STATUS. I COULD BE WRONG , BUT I AM SURE THE EXPERTS WILL KNOW WHAT THIS IS USED FOR. I AM NOT SURE OF THE AGE BUT LOOKING AT THE BRASS CLASP AND RINGS AND THE WARE I WOULD GUESS EARLY TO MID 19TH CENTURY. THERE ARE LETTERS ON THE BRASS AS WELL AS THE SUEDE LINING.THE COLOR OF THE LEATHER HAS WORN OFF IN AREAS AS HOWN AND THERE IS A SMALL TEAR IN THE LEATHER WHERE THE CINCH TIE IS.ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED ON THIS ITEM. I RESPOND VERY QUICKLY TO QUESTIONS ALSO.THE SIZE IS 10.25" TALL BY ALMOST 4"WIDE AT THE BULDGE AND 3" AT THE BOTTOM AND ABOUT A 1.25" AT THE TOP OPENING. ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN INCH THICKNESS
