A Modern Hardcover Journal and a Novelty Ballpoint Pen

This lot comprises a dark, unadorned hardcover book or journal with a plain binding. Its interior pages are blank and lined, appearing clean and largely unused, suggesting a modern period. Accompanying the book is a novelty ballpoint pen, constructed of off-white plastic or resin with black accents. The pen features a clear central barrel housing a decorative strip, possibly of a natural material, which displays an indistinct, etched or painted image.
