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

The writing on the bottom says

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! :)
