<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 279196, member: 25&quot;]In my opinion the covers were nothing to do with lightl protection, dark blue or other coloured glass would do that, but for safety when travelling. Rough roads were the rule in those days. Could be for ink, I suppose, but it would be a year&#039;s supply and pocket inkwells existed that were much smaller. I&#039;d place it in a doctor&#039;s bag filled with one of the remedies of the period, which I agree is around 1900.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
