    Description

    Civil War Era Traveling inkwell.
    Appears to be made of fruitwood or some other lighter colored wood.
    Carried in the haversack of every literate soldier on both sides for writing letters home while campaigning in the field or in muddy winter encampments. This one 2 inches tall and just over 1inch in diameter.
    Has the glass ink bottle inside with spring to hold the bottle tight against the lid to prevent ink from leaking. Top twists on over two “ears” on the base and sealed the ink bottle.
    Not sure I’d trust the seal after 160 plus years
    No cracks or damage.
    These are getting harder and harder to find.
    U.S. sales only.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK
