The inkwell is hallmarked for Birmingham silver, 1925. There is a makers mark but this is slightly worn and difficult to distinguish.

It weighs 85g.

~ Condition ~

The inkwell has a couple of dings to the corners of the lid and a couple more to the edge of the base, but otherwise is in a very nice condition with minimal wear.

The lid does not sit flush on the base as it is set back by a few millimetres.

There is no liner.
