CASE, PENCIL - WOODEN - VERNON W MARSH
c. 1928A wooden pencil case with three layers. Top level is pivoted at one end and has a lid which slides in to lock it into position. Moving it back allows access to four slots to accommodate pencils or similar and has an eraser pit in the fixed end.
When the top section is swung away the second level has a large single space for more writing apparatus. The bottom level is dove tailed below the second level and has a similar receptical to the second level.
The base has the makers name printed on it.
Owned and possibly made by Mr Vernon Marsh of Armadale State School. Used between the ages of 11 and 13. At the time, Armadale State School was the only school in the Southern Corridor that had a manual arts facility. Many of Marsh's projects were examples of manual art projects conducted in the late 1920s in schools to develop hand skills for future use in employment.
