(b) The holder consists of a varnished wood base, measuring 9.0 cm (height) x 9.0 (width) x 9.0 (length). The top of the object contains a gold cylindrical holder mounted on a swivel ball that holds the pen. On the top of the holder, located in the middle, there is also a shield-shaped Canadian Pacific logo with a silver beaver on top holding a pen. The red shield contains the words “Canadian Pacific” in white lettered script with a white border around its circumference. Underneath the words “Canadian Pacific” there is a small white globe with the words “SPANS THE WORLD” written in silver. The front of the object is on a slant and contains a gold plaque with “NICK MORANT” engraved. The plaque measures 2.0 cm (height) x 7.7 (length). The bottom of the object has not been varnished. The holder has four green circular pads located in the four corners of the object and offer it greater traction. The pads measure 1 cm (diameter) each. There is also a “MADE IN U.S.A” sticker located in the top viewer-right corner. Located in the top middle (between the two felt pads) there is a screw that attaches the gold cylindrical holder that is mounted on the opposite side.
