Description
A leather case with six hooks for hanging keys. Skeleton keys are hung from three hooks, two are empty, and one holds an imprinted steel tag reading "C. H. Jellison; Court No. 1186; I. O. F. ; Old Town ; ME." where semicolons denote line breaks. It also features a small stag's head illustration between the word Court and No. 1186, as well as four other small diamond-shaped embellishments. C. H. Jellison appears to have been an Old Town general store in the 1890s.
