Hello, it looks to me as being Russian silver. It is confirmed by the reversed N which in cyrillic alphabet is a "i" I belive this part could be the second letter of maker's mark of the Russian Silversmith Dmitriì Nikolaevich Nikolaev active in Moscow between 1896 and 1908. Hope this help...

Hello all, I have this lovely French inkwell and I cannot find the maker nor the engraver. It has clearly the Minerva head and I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the maker's mark picture. It was really hard to shoot. it is a losange and in it you have an H then a kind of hexagonal shape ...
Watching at all the pictures, it appears to me that the handles ar silver but the blade and the spoon part are in another metal. I do agree that the square mark is for silver plate. Normally you should find the losange mark on the handles. Please post pictures.

Sorry I do not have any catalogue and as I do not collect the travel inkwells I have none. If you wish, I can send you pictures of other types of inkwells produced by S. BLANCKENSEE.

He is a bookmark collector and he should be able to help you to confirm if yes or no it could be part of a bookmark. Some of his are really large in size so the 13 cms long did not ...

Hope this has helped Best regards Myriam .
Hi Miles, This could well be a travel inkwell part of a vanity. Being a silver inkwell and dip pen collector, I have seen quite a lot of then. The only thing which is disturbing is the stopper. Please tell me the maker hallmark and I should be able to confirm or not ( picture not clear enough to fin...
