    I found these and I have no clue what they are. The bases are marble because they are heavy and the top part is brass. What were they used for? Any information about them would be great.

    Possibly inkwells missing their glass inserts.

    That's certainly what they appear to be. Here's another one, albeit a bit fancier.

    Can you tell what age they would be?
