ART DECO ENGLISH STERLING SILVER INKWELL - BIRMINGHAM 1925 - 14oz - A/F ART DECO ENGLISH STERLING SILVER INKWELL - BIRMINGHAM 1925 - 14oz - A/F From an estate clearance this is a good sized sterling silver capstan inkwell as pictured. There is no engravingAssayed in Birmingham during 1925 the inkwell measures just less than 2.5" high with a base 3.75" wide and 4.75" long. It weighs in at 14.32 troy o...unces (445.3g) although this will not be the true silver weight because the base has been additionally weighted for stability..The glass inkwell / liner is still present and in good order, so often these are missing or broken. There are a few typical light / faint scuffs and scratches here and there commensurate with age and use but nothing really nasty or serious. In addition there is some impact type damage to a front corner and a small edge split on a rear corner. I have pictured and indicated both these areas in a couple of the supplied photographs so that you can make a judgement.A good polish will no doubt further restore former glory.This attractive looking and very functional old silver inkwell is being offered here in a used, 'at fault' (A/F), vintage condition, exactly as pictured and with no reserve.
