About the Item

American Civil War era gutta-percha inkwell with a screw off top. In the mid 19th century, gutta-percha (hard rubber) became very popular. For Civil War soldiers, this was a great improvement over the usual glass inkwells, they closed tightly and there was no worrying of the glass breaking. A nice addition to any private collectors collection.
