Traveling Inkwell Milk Churn Shape
About the Item
This figural traveling inkwell was made during the very early 1900s. It is made to look like a milk churn. We believe it is made of nickel plated brass; some of the plating has worn away to show the brass beneath. The lid opens when the button in front is pressed. For added protection, another lid is inside, which is opened by pressing a latch on the side. This lid has a leather “plug” in the middle which fits tightly onto the glass ink bottle top when the lid is closed. The spring of the lid is intact.

- Antique Carved Inkwell, Swiss Milk Cow, Late 19th CenturyLocated in Dallas, TXThis intriguing Black Forest inkwell has been meticulously hand carved from wood and dates to 19th century Switzerland. The piece depicts two men attempting to milk a cow. The man wearing a hat is struggling to control the cow by pulling on the bovine’s tail; his bespectacled partner is situated next to the cow in an attempt to milk it. The ground immediately beneath these three figures is a rocky formation of varying height. Below this is a wooden terrain that also has quite a lot of depth. Among the forest-like environment, there are two indentations that house the colored and cut glass inkwells. The colored portions of the mushroom-shaped wells are a rustic orange that ties in nicely with the dark brown wood used in the carving. The wells are then capped with silvered lids. One of the glass containers has a perforated top, which would have held the pounce or sand (pounce pot). This would have permitted the writer to sprinkle the sand on the paper before inking to aid in the drying process. Excess pounce was often poured back into the container. The milk cows...Category
