Green Leather 'Ransome's' Type Travel Inkwell
Green Leather 'Ransome's' Type Travel Inkwell
Sold
This leather on brass inkwell works to the same principal as the Ransome's patent design, made by De La Rue.
It folds to a small flat size for travel but the body is hinged to stand at a right angle to the base, when pushed. It's very smart in dark green leather, highlighted by the brass. The glass ink bottle is locked tight by a cork fitted to the inside of the lid, which is operated by a sprung push button catch. Late 19th century
