Condition Report
The inkwell displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. A couple of minor knocks to the base rim. The retractable lid appears in working order. There are two liners, an outer metal one which displays some rust, and a further one, which is possibly bakelite? There is a large rim chip to this liner. The metal is visible to the underside and some rust is visible to the interior. Some slight rubbing but hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
