    Default My first inkwell

    Just wanted to share pics of the inkwell I was given this weekend.



    The writing on the bottom says
    May 30, 1911
    Gem Pat. Nov 5, 1912
    Made in the USA



    I think it looks great on my desk.

    That is a nice inkwell but the story attached with it is fantastic.
    I always enjoy reading your blog.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. I just feel so blessed that a friend would entrust a family heirloom to me. It will remain an heirloom, just a different family!
