IW-413 - Beautiful inkwell. Appears to be
brass. I have done some cleaning but it needs further attention
so it will come close to its original finish. There are no additional
inserts, the metal insert like area is part of the inkwell. The
covers are interesting with a swirl design and attach to back
of the inkwell. One cap mechanism is in wonderful shape, the
other needs a pin and is now being held in place with a wire
through the mechanism. This appears to be victorian. I do not
think it is any later than that. The corners of the tray section
have a decorative relief image. This is a pretty piece and yours
for $115.00 which takes the absence of the pin into account. |
