Antique multi-book research carousel. The precursor to browser tabs.

beautiful & not too ornate. Books seemed to be of a few standard sizes those days : like A5 & A4 etc whereas today they are very tiny up to rediculously large.

Beautiful craftsmanship and functional, not gaudy. LOL Browser Tabs!!! Good one Jon!
