Three Bollard inkwells.

Two are silver plated. The brush is for cleaning your nib. The two little spikes hold a pen.kjcOV93.jpg

Well no matter how small I try to make it...it is too big...and like more than half my stuff from the last six months won't save in Imgur.

 

Sooner than later...hopefully.

Would help to find out how to make it smaller.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

The small one to the left is 925/sterling silver from Birmingham, 1918. The other two are silver plated.

 

My wife found the small real silver bollard inkwell on the left at a silver shop in a shopping center, early this morning, while I was still asleep.;)...

The spikes holding the fountain pen....cZdsO8P.jpg

Thank you.

Much is my wife's doings...........she's been into antiques long before I became one.:happyberet:

 

Come to think of it, with all three of them over the decade.

You know...if you got a nice inkwell, I don't mind you hijacking this thread.... I do it all the time.

 

IMO a '30's one. Post Art Decco, perhaps Modernism? I did pick it up in Sweden, but that really don't mean much. I'd say '30's in by the '50's inkwells were so passé.

Mana has a nice selection and perhaps could tell more.

The below.

The black marble one...1860's-70 (Napoleon III Bee top...) ? 1875-1910 for the small white one?... I have the impression the small one could also be French. The smaller one is one of my smallest ones with a base in inkwell size.ryoHjEX.jpg

Auction house picture; so much better than mine.

The whitish marble based one is, definitely, a Ladies inkwell. SK82SBO.jpg

The dip pen couldn't be read by a Russian Doctor in my building. A Ukrainian woman in my building couldn't read it either; but thought it was from the Caucasus Mountains.RCAafKq.jpg

The bollard inkwell are beautiful in their simplicity.

 

Your wife is a genius antique finder!

 

All of the inkwells on this thread are gorgeous!

 

Thank you for sharing!

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?
