<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 254010, member: 360"]I agree with ClutteredCloset. Something like this is likely to be much older than 1930s. The decoration looks sorta Art-Nouveau. So that would be turn-of-century, 1890s-1900s. It has its original liner, so that's good. Most of these, the liners are broken and long-gone. Finding replacements isn't always easy. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'd give the liner a jolly good clean in warm, soapy water to remove any ink-residue, and then replace it into the inkwell, but otherwise leave it alone. If it was brass, then I'd suggest polishing the inkwell too, but I think people like bronze to be aged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
