Triple Snail Revolving Inkwell Very RARE Triple Snail Inkwell with cast brass fittings in a revolving brass stand. This one has it all! The opaque white inkwells are very desirable and less common than the clear glass normally found. It is rare to find a triple bottle stand. For ease of use it makes nothing but sense for it to revolve. Snail Inkwells offer self-closing, color-coded ink bottles . . . placed upright, each bottle is open; pushed against the lid, the bottle is closed, thereby preventing evaporation. This is the Cadillac of Inkwells, with only a very limited number manufactured, thus RARE! The saucer shaped base measures 7 3/4" in diameter. 5" tall. French, c. 1860 $1295.00 F0D01867 Questions?
