WHAT WAS THIS USED FOR?

Postby niceguy1 » Sun Jun 22, 2014 12:31 pm

HI AGAIN

What was this silver piece with glass insert used for? I suppose it might be ink stand?

It’s hallmarked for Sheffield 1913, makers mark is partly rubbed but appears to be Walker & Hall.

Hi,

The glass insert, presuming original to the liner, is an inkwell.

Is it a snug fit?
