Finwitch:

Obviously, at Hogwarts during Harry's third year! As for the briefcase
with peeling gold letters - remember that Ollivander had such as well?
And someone (I forget who) advertised such letters in QWC.

He may well have bought that upon being hired, complete with the
letters. OR - it was a gift from James&Sirius, 'professor' being a
joke due to his reading-habits/being a prefect. Or *Dumbledore* gave
it to him as a start-a-job-bonus or something like that...
