Are you a logophile?

If you are unsure, why not look it up in "The Smallest English Dictionary in the World"?

Published in New York by the Frederick A. Stokes Company, this 1890s novelty features a minuscule leather-bound dictionary perfectly tucked into a simple sterling silver case.

The front of the case has a glass window that double as a magnifying glass to read the microscopic print.

The inside front cover is personalized for Mr. John Work and contains both his Colorado and New York addresses. 

Pendant comes on a new sterling silver chain.
