<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 10350024, member: 360&quot;]I&#039;ve been into writing cases since I was a kid. At one point I had a collection of over a dozen - these days I&#039;ve whittled that down to two (I had three, but I sold one a couple of weeks ago). </p><p><br /></p><p>Inkwells on writing slopes / cases were almost always the threaded type, with a screw-on cap. Anything else (stoppers, corks, etc) just wasn&#039;t secure enough to hold the ink in without leaking. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, you also had &quot;traveling inkwells&quot;, these were inkwells with glass liners and lockable lids on top. The lids came with leather seals designed to stop the ink leaking out. I have one writing case with one of these inside it. If you didn&#039;t want a threaded inkwell, this was the alternative that you had to use. </p><p><br /></p><p>The one I have actually didn&#039;t have its original glass liner. I got SUPREMELY lucky in finding a little plastic jar that fit the interior *exactly*, and I used that as a replacement instead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
