Inkwells and Blotters: Brass Inkwell

Description

Set up your desk for success with this distinguished Brass Inkwell. It gives us a 1930s or ’40s’ vibe. We shined it up pretty good. There are still a couple stubborn dark spots and light scratches that you can see. Hallmarked “K & Co.”, we aren’t sure who made it. It is possibly older and from the UK. The only hallmark we found was for William Kilbourne Kay trading as Kay & Co, watchmakers in the late Victorian era. Sturdy brass. You can see its glass inkwell insert has fractals radiating through it. We don’t know if it will leak ink over time. Our Brass Inkwell weighs about a pound and measures 3 inches on ever side and is about 2 1/4-inches tall.
