Half an appraisal request and half does-anyone-know-how-to-use-this.



>anal my press
You analyze your thanot flower press and sense that there is no recorded information on that item. It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer.

Try as you might, you cannot get a good sense of whether or not the press's pockets could get any deeper, but you can tell that the press is as light as it can get.
>inspect my press
Inspecting that may not be a sound idea.




As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the thanot flower press in your hand, and you learn something about it...

This is a small item, under a pound. In your best estimation, it's worth about 49,000 silvers.

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the thanot flower press in your hand, and you learn something about it...

From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the press is as a container of some kind with a maximum interior capacity of four pounds with room for one item.

You feel as though you have reached the end of the press's song.



>get flower
>
You pluck a yellow ruffle-petaled flower from the the tangled vines.
>open my press
You untie the bindings that fasten your thanot flower press and open it.
>put flower in my press
You put a yellow ruffle-petaled flower in your thanot flower press.
>close my press
You close your thanot flower press and fasten the bindings securely.
>turn my press
That would be pointless as there's nothing within it that can be pressed.

I'm pretty sure I picked this up from the FWI locker auction they had a few years ago, but I don't have any logs left of what came in the locker with it. I vaguely recall you could press flowers in books, but the writable books I have won't hold a flower. ("There is only enough room inside a moon-tooled ebon leather volume for a quill, stylus, bookmark, or card.").
