Ink Well ID help please
« on: April 07, 2013, 01:41:50 PM »
Could anyone enlighten me on  poss date and origin please.  Been in  my vast collection for a while and never found out anything about it.  My reason for asking is unfortunately I am going to have to sell bits of my collection as have unexpected bills come in and there is no other way around it :(.  Would be helpful to have some info on it please to help boost funds?  thanks everso

I am assuming it's English by the inlaid vintage pic of Conway in Wales

not that I am questioning your knowledge Frank, but could you tell me if there is anything in particular that gives it away to be European please?  Just curious
