Cast Brass Ink Well

The variety of shapes and materials used  in Victorian Ink Wells makes them worth collecting.   Having to dip a pen into an inkwell and write goes back to old times.  Dating myself now:  but in school in the 1950’s we still had inkwells in our desks which were filled up by Bulk Stephens inks – see one that I am selling – still with its label.  Ok in those days I think I was too small to use a pen.  Well pencils are still in use and pretty much unchanged!!
