Victorian, Dippers & Drawing Pens, Inkwell Related

 

Please see our Books page (on the Home page menu) for a lot of books on Victorians. Also, please understand that when we're speaking Victorian, the "Pen" is what we would call the "Nib" if we were referring to a fountain pen - it has no breather hole but DOES have a slit, and the "Holder" refers to what we would refer to as the "Feed, Section, Barrel, and Cap" combination if we were discussing a fountain pen.

ITEM #5017: FOUNT-O-INK INKSTAND BOTTLE.  This is one of Fount-O-Ink's upside down bottles intended to be inverted and inserteed into one of their ink stands, although I haven't seen the stand that takes this one. It is obviously intended for that type of use because of the very ornate design in the bottom and a fat breather tube contained inside the bottle used to get air up into the top (of the up-side-down bottle) as the ink gets used. Partially filled with brownish ink, still in solution with no precipitate or sediment separated-out.

ITEM #4139: VICTORIAN PEN CLEANER. This piece of artwork was used in the day when paper contained rag fibers which would amass on the tip of your pen and make a mess on your paper unless you somehow scraped them off. This device accomplished that using a set of bristles sticking out of this guy's head. An that's not all --- if you turn the metal cup containing the bristles over, it becomes a drby on his head. This could possibly also be used as an inkwell due to the large, open volume inside. Although his eyes are intended to look like diamonds, I believe they are probably just glass. I can't really tell, as I left my precious stone appraiser down in Southern California when I moved up to the Central Coast, so I can't have him take a look at it. This piece maintains it's beautiful, as-found patina and has not been polished.
