Out in the Field Find
While roaming through one on my favorite thrift shops I spotted this 19th century inkwell.
One thing about inkwells is most are missing the ink pot (a ceramic or metal insert that the ink goes into), and serious collectors only want inkwells with their original post. So, I heard my breath and YES! perfect little ink pot was smiling back at me.
Paid $3.99, and sold it to a collector via eBay for $100. Not a bad way to earn some extra pocket money.
