16-gauge brass sheet width: 4.5 inches Length: 5.625 inches Capacity: 0.25 inches of paper We developed the Brass Desk Pad after years of using scrap paper to make lists and notes. We quarter 8.5 x 11 paper with a paper cutter, then use a standard 2-hole paper punch for the holes. They fit perfectly in the pad. You can also order refills by the inch but the idea is to re-use scrap paper fully, before recycling the paper. The pad measures 4.5 x 5.625 inches and is made from a 16-gauge brass sheet. It holds about .25 inches of paper at a time. Just rip off the top sheet to reveal the next page to use. When you get down to the bottom, unscrew and add new sheets. Note: Our pieces are custom-made upon ordering. Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery.
