Traveling Inkwell Milk Churn Shape

About the Item

This figural traveling inkwell was made during the very early 1900s. It is made to look like a milk churn. We believe it is made of nickel plated brass; some of the plating has worn away to show the brass beneath. The lid opens when the button in front is pressed. For added protection, another lid is inside, which is opened by pressing a latch on the side. This lid has a leather “plug” in the middle which fits tightly onto the glass ink bottle top when the lid is closed. The spring of the lid is intact.
