What a beautiful antique reproduction solid brass ink well with moving swivel top! This brass captain inkwell is representative of antique inkwells used throughout history, especially that of a ship's captain. With the moving swivel lid, the inkwell would hold the ink inside the inkwell while the Captain would be out enduring the rough waves of the ocean. The inkwell measures 3 1/4" at the base of the ink well, and 4" tall, from the base of the inkwell to the swivel top. Great quality and the beautiful solid brass finish make this writing pen inkwell a great antique style addition to your desk, writing box, or the desk of a friend or family member!
