Travelling inkwell

[amk]

I picked up this charming travelling inkwell at the weekend. It made up for the fact that I saw all of five fountain pens, and all were horrible fourth tier modern stuff.

The little bottle inside is glass with a plastic top that says 'Waterman'. The outside is, I think, bakelite, with a screw thread. There is a spring in the bottom, which keeps the glass container in place and ensures it doesn't jiggle around.

It really is the most charming accessory and in very fine condition.




I'd love to see other people's travelling ink accessories and inkwells!
