This remarkable carved wooden bear pen and ink set was likely a souvenir of the Black Forest in Germany at the turn of the last century or shortly after. The bear has red and black glass eyes and he sits atop an oval platform designed to hold pens or other desk accessories. Beside him is a "tree stump" that opens up on a hinge to reveal a white porcelain ink holder. All the wood is hand-carved and very detailed, and it is in very nice antique condition with just a few dings and bumps. ...I've tried to show as much as possible with the photos so please look closely. The oval base is about 6" by 9.5" in size; height, including bear, is about 4.5". The inkwell is about 2.5" across when closed. Please email me with questions. I pack carefully and ship same or next business day from Arkansas with free tracking. Satisfaction guaranteed or money cheerfully refunded.
