I picked up this Maitland Smith Brass Ink Well. There are three "wells."
I would like a detailed explanation of how these inkwells were used. I am having a difficult time finding anyone who knows for sure without assuming/guessing.
Why are there three wells?
How were all three intended to be used?
Is there glass containers missing from this model or is the ink supposed to be put right into the brass well?
Here is the product on ebay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/303899003446?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180105095853%26meid%3Db3b00280c2bc447f9891f7ecb7678b45%26pid%3D100903%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D16%26sd%3D374216600907%26itm%3D303899003446%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2510209&_trksid=p2510209.c100903.m5276
