A charming and very smart white metal Canadian "Sweetheart" Note Case and pencil. The pencil locks the case shut, ans opens once the pencil is removed. The front displaying the Maple leaf badge of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, above the word "Vimy".
Likely produced to commemorate the battle around Vimy Ridge in April 1917.
A similar example is held by the Canadian War Museum. It can be viewed HERE.
Looks to have been very lightly used. Likely a gift for a sweetheart, or perhaps an aide memoire for a military nurse.
Measuring 2.5 inches high.
