Antique Sengbusch No. 51 Self Closing Inkwell Patent 1907 Sengbusch Self-Closing Inkstand Co Milwaukee, Wisconsin If I used a dipping nib, I would never sell this elegant example of functional design and manufacture, from the simple mechanism that closes it to the solid weight (just over one pound) that keeps it anchored to the tabletop. But sadly, on the rare occasion when I write at all, I use a throw-away ballpoint pen. "Them days is gone forever." Dimensions: 2 3/4" high, 3" diameter. There is what appears to be ink staining on the lid, but otherwise it is undamaged, unmarred. Please see photos for condition. Shipping on Mondays. Payment must be received the previous day. Will be shipped USPS Priority Mail.
