A George III silver-mounted glass travelling inkwell by George Reid, London 1817, the square glass body with star-cut base, the hinged cover engraved with a crest, with screw-pin closure. Base 3.7cm square
Very Good: In very good condition overall, but possibly some or all of the lot has slight wear/damage/fading in line with the age of this lot.
Marks very lightly rubbed/awkwardly struck on the reeded band, and filled with dirt. Screw closure lifts fully out and separate, hinged tab sturdy. Hinged engraved cover with areas of black tarnish which we imagine would easily clean away. Minor dings and light surface scratches to silver, commensurate with age and use. Tiny nibble to one canted bottom corner of glass body. Additional images uploaded online.
