    This likely isn't an antique in the true sense, but then I know nothing at all about it in general. I'm not sure if it is just decorative, if there is something missing from it or if there is a purpose that has gone over my head. It stands around 13 inches tall and the base is around 3.25" in diameter. Thanks ahead for any help or ideas on this.

    Ok, Hollyblue. I pulled the feather and it does come out. I was afraid to try that earlier. Would the ink have gone in the shallow indented area on top?

    Ok, that makes sense then. So it is more of a decorative item. It is kind of cool. Thanks everyone.
