  • Jennings Brothers Bronze Desk Set Inkwell Stamp Box Letter Holder

Copperton Lane Antiques & Collectibles

Circa: 1900
Country of Origin: US
Manufacturer: Jennings Brothers
This 3-piece antique cast bronze desk set was made by Jennings Brothers in the early 1900s. The inkwell has a built-in pen rest at the front and is 2-3/4" high. The milk glass insert cup is clean and in excellent condition with one shallow, smooth flake on the rim edge.

The casket stamp box is 1-1/2" high by 3-1/4 inches long. Included are two fountain pen nibs marked Spencerian England Gilt Point No. 42 which were found inside.

The letter holder is about 4 inches square. Only the inkwell has a readable mark - JB 1014. The letter holder should bear the mark JB 1017 but if it's there it's not readable. The back hinges of the inkwell lid have been repaired or fortified (see solder marks in photo 4) but the lid works smoothly and is secure. All three pieces have excellent original patina and are in great condition with no scratches or dings.
