If This Piece Could Talk
“I once slipped neatly into the pocket of a well-tailored coat, carrying calling cards to soirées and meetings in Birmingham’s glittering 1930s. My silver gleamed in candlelit rooms as names were exchanged and reputations forged. Through war, peace, and change, I remained a token of refinement and pride. Today, I carry not only cards but echoes of the hands that once held me with care.”
