extricated only by cutting him off at the ankles--which was done a but unevenly

I do believe the interior paper is original to the notebook

I also tend to love those that more "primitive" than highly refined

Antique Small Heart-Shaped Lock, with Key antique patriotic extricated only by cutting himOf course this old heart shaped lock would be perfect for locking to a bridge somewhere as a symbol of enduring love, but it's such a sweet one I think better to hold onto it! The key still works to open and close it easily, and once locked, it's locked tight. I am not sure the maker, but I do know for sure it is an old one, 19th c. for sure. 2 1 4" tall x 1 9 16" w wide x 3 8" thick and in very good, aged condition.
