"Ferryboat" Inkstand
This inkstand appears to be the same one pictured in The Collector's World of Inkwells by Jean & Franklin Hunting and pictured on p. 101. It is of an unusual shape that they thought resembled a Ferryboat. A square, pressed glass inkwell with a hinged lid is in the back while a pen wipe brush and pen rest are in the front. The inkstand is marked "Germany" and is made of Nickle Plate on brass and copper. The size is 2 1/2" x 5" and the inkwell is circa 1880's. $275.00 FOD01383 Questions? Ask the Ferret!
