Cast in the shape of a small leather-bound book, this locket opens on a tiny hinge to reveal celluloid photo sleeves inside, meant to hold a keepsake portrait close. The spine and cover carry etched detail true to the binding it imitates, scrollwork corners and all. The reverse is engraved "To Charmion from Walt," a sweetheart gift with its own small story intact. A rare survivor with both craftsmanship and history behind it.
