I recently acquired a very old-looking pad/pencil holder stamped "Genuine Leather Made in Spain". It is 7-1/2" x 10" overall, and holds a pad approximately 6" x 8-1/2". There is a loop for a pen or pencil on the right-hand side. The flap cover is intricately embossed with leather lacing edging, with a picture of a Spanish soldier carrying a spear, riding a horse. Alongside the soldier is a short, fat man riding a donkey. There are mountains and clouds in the background. The inside of the case is red satin. Can anyone tell me anything about this item?
