1870s M.H Cowell & Co. "Guiding Star Marker / Infallible Scorer" For Every Game! miniature well I can't look at this

I can't look at this fabulous vessel without thinking of Magritte's “Ceci nest pas un pipe

against a soft

and is the perfect little pocket-sized book to take camping or keep in the car or backpack

with a couple of smaller black painted blocks nailed to its sides--completely resolute and matter of fact

Much worn on the outside

1870s M.H Cowell & Co. "Guiding Star Marker / Infallible Scorer" For Every Game! miniature well I can't look at thisI've looked a fair amount but haven't found documentation of another one of these out there anywhere, which I snatched up because I just really love the looks of it and also the language of its title: "The Guiding Star Marker" or "The Infallible Scorer." (Who doesn't need one of those?) Great graphics, great color scheme, and an excellent yellow printed back providing some further explication about its use and attributing it to M. H Cowell and Co.,
