I have a small round wooden box, possible rosewood, 1 1/4 " high and wide, had a screw on lid with a well cut in and a hole in the center. from the bottom of the box a spindle comes up just to the top of the hole in the lid.  looks like some ink residue on top side of lid but clean on the inside. may have held some type of powdered ink. also, two small metal plates with cut-outs ofthe names of husband and wife. and a short stiff brush. looks like a stencil and brush with ink to address cards or letters.  What are these items , time period and their value. Thanks, Pat
