When my grandmother went to school it was common for the teacher to give out award for exceptional work. I don't think they do as nice awards as in that time. The certificates were really beautiful and special... I don't have photos of them right now but I will pull them out and post them. Now days when they get certificates it is just a simple thing and doesn't look special at all.
My Grandmother Daisy earned lots of awards from her teachers. This is a photo of a mother-of-pearl ink pen she received. The nib shown doesn't fit her pen and someday I should look one up on the internet and get it. This was very special to her. It has such a beautiful neck on it.
The penmanship in those days was so beautiful and they took pride in their writing.....now, some schools aren't even teaching cursive!
