Antique Miller Brothers Co. Ink Eraser no parking 7 1/2" long x 3

7 1/2" long x 3 1/4" wide x 5" tall (with tail)

but this I believe is by far the loveliest

from whatever materials they had at hand--but my guess is that this small lidded box is an example

perhaps in a civic building

Antique Miller Brothers Co. Ink Eraser no parking 7 1/2" long x 3I didn't know what this was when I found it, but thought it was a beautiful tool so scooped it up. There's a mark on the blade for Miller Brothers, and I believe it is an "ink eraser," a handy tool to use along with an ink pen when practicing one's Spencerian calligraphy! 19th century or very early 20th century I believe and really in excellent condition, with a beautifully shaped hardwood handle and steel blade. 5 11 16" l x 5 8" w.
