Image of an advertisement for T. Leslie's watch-making business featuring tableware including a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl pictured at center and a pocket watch pictured at upper right; double-lined border with scrolling floral motif at corners.

Original wood engraving likely made on paper, then transferred onto tin; dark blue, cream, and gold ribbon threaded through two holes at the top to allow for hanging.
