- Rare carnet en écaille, émail et nacre par Louis Mailly, Paris, 1722-1727
Mailly fut l'un des cinq maîtres reçu en 1723 "l'ordonnance de 80.000 livres". Il insculpa son poinçon, LM un maillet, tenant enseigne Place Dauphine en janvier 1723, ainsi qu'un petit poinçon pour l'or le 12 février. Il semble être décédé en 1739.
Vue leur fragilité, très peu d'aide-mémoires ou carnets de cette époque sont parvenus jusqu'à nous.
