Nice stocking stuffer for the Train enthusiast.  This vintage Sheaffer Imperial Sterling Silver White Dot ball point pen features chased floral design panels along the length of the barrel. This White Dot pen has a screw on cap and the famous Sheaffer Reminder Clip, one of Sheaffers most practical inventions! Reminder Clip ballpoint pens work by depressing the clip to extend the point, click it again to retract the point, this type of mechanism gave no chance of an ink leakage. Sadly, Reminder Clip ballpens are no longer made. Marked Sheaffer Sterling Silver USA.


During the 1950s-60s Sheaffer White Dots became a status item, as the White Dot was advertised as a Mark of Luxury and Symbol of Satisfaction which hallmarked all of Sheaffers top model pens. Condition: does have numerous scratches on barrel; pen works but does need new cartridge.

Vintage Lucite Pen Holder with Red Rose $20.00

Bevelled glass inkwell, measuring 54 mm high and 69 mm square (2.1/8 inches and about 2.3/4 inches square).  It would date from very early 20th century, and has wear on the underneath to support this age. There is a shallow chip on one side. Still a nice piece of glass, and a useful paperweight, since the well is deep enough to accommodate pins or paperclips. Comes with a little pewter liner - but I don’t think this is original to it, as it is much less deep than the actual glass well.  RETRO ANN-ELAINE BEAUTY SALON LA MESA CALIFONRIA ADVERTISING PEN WITH DIALER TIP.

Most beautiful Art Deco pencil, Made from 3 shades of Bakelite, Butterscotch, Ivory and black, as per images, Measuring approximately 4 inches long.  Marble desk set from the 1920s. It consists of 5 pieces: a large oblong marble slab with groove for pens etc, and having a hinged lidded inkwell in the left hand corner. This measures 20 cm by 30.5 cm (8 inches by 12 inches), and is 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick - a substantial piece of marble, mounted on four little chromes feet.  Separate items are a letter rack (marble and chrome), a blotter roller with chrome handle, a seal with marble handle reading  K.G.T. in script, and another instrument which I think was possibly a letter opener, which screwed into the marble handle - only the handle remains, no blade. All in excellent condition.  Very heavy!  Large black glass inkwell, with "Chinese Gordon Ink Bottle" around the neck, and around the body crossed swords, a portrait of "Chinese" Gordon himself (General Charles George Gordon) with laurel leaves, and "Born 23rd Jan. 1833" and "Died at Khartoum 26th Jan. 1885".  General Gordon was famously killed during the defense of Khartoum. Ink well measures 71 mm high and 117 mm diameter (2.3/4 inches by 4.1/4 inches). It has a screw thread around the top of the well, so must have once had a lid. Shallow well, definitely not a bottle per se.  It is in excellent condition - there is one very shallow sliver of glass off the underneath of the well. Not seen unless you turn it upside down. Most unusual item.  This is a wonderful and rather rare Art Deco cobalt blue glass ink blotter in the form of a sailboat. Made by Hazel Atlas Glass Co in the 1930s, it was part of their Sailboat or Sportsman series of cobalt blue glassware; it rests on rough seas and has a ground base to grip blotter paper which is secured with clips. Condition is wonderful with no chips or cracks.

This vintage Higgins' magazine ad is suitable for framing. This vintage Ink magazine advertisement depicts "Easter In Brussels".  This pretty little Victorian pencil has either a crystal or a citrine stone set into the finial, engraved with the owner’s initials (can’t quite read them.. D.E something, can’t decipher the last one). The pencil is made in gold - no hallmarks or maker’s names, but it would have to be gold of some type - it is very slim and delicate, and has suffered a few little dings  along the barrel over the years. The sliding retraction mechanism still works, although I haven’t been able to get a lead into it, as I think there is the remains of a lead still in there. Pencil measures 82 mm long when retracted, and 92 mm long when out.  It is 4 mm diameter on the barrel (3.1/4 inches and 3.5/8 inches length, and 3/16 inch diameter). Circa mid to late 19th century.  A large heavy crystal inkwell insert in a stepped design.  I have seen this same inkwell used in a Roycroft inkstand.
