I can not decide if this piece of Canadian glass is a pen holder, ink tray, dental instrument tray or some sort of battery rest....The grooves in the ends of the glass makes me think it was secured to something at one time.

3"Wide, 4 1/4"Long, 1 1/2" thick

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time

Michael

Answer : It is the base of a letter holder, yours is missing the spring part, see here:
