Title: Ink Well ID help please
Post by: dinklepip 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

Souvenir industry was well spread out, be hard to pin it down without a catalogue source. I include UK in Europe by the way.... I know many don't ;-)
