N/A. (N/A). 1. EXC. Cap is rusty. Some dried up red ink inside. A bit of discolouration to the label. Nice bottle. 2. EXC. Box is OK, missing its lid, discoloured, with some stains and marks. There is an instruction pamphlet which is foxed with discolouration as well. Bottle has discoloured label, dried contents inside and some grime but is really good. 3. EXC. Box is pretty good, one tab has torn off but is still there. Foxed with other tears and some discolouration. The jar still has much of the contents - red ink! Would be a worry posting this! Some dust and grime, but pretty much as made. The original cap says "tighten cap. Tip bottle to fill the well". Inside the top is a moulded well which works exactly as described, quite a great item really! 4. EXC. A bit of grime which will clean off. Little nick to inner rim of one of the wells. Some scratches. This also has a blue fountain pen with it. 5. Good. Has a plated mount around the opening which probably had a hinger lid or similar that has broken off. Under and around this mount there is a couple of cracks to the glass. Small chip to back end of anvil near the top. Tiny nibbled surface flake to front middle part of anvil. 20 x 14 mm chip to outer part of the pedestal base edge, the inner part here is also chipped over about 45 x 10 mm. Some other flakes and nibbles around the heel and base edge region. If you collect anvils and inks, then this is a must for you! 6. EXC. Pretty much as made. Some fine splits to the wood. Some scratches. Some crazing to the lacquer or coating. Very interesting item. Estimate: $50-100
