Inkwells of Connecticut

Almost everything you wanted to know about cast iron inkwells made in this eastern US state was covered in this in-depth presentation, produced from years of careful research into cast-iron inkwells, manufacturers, patents, and more.

Detailed information, along with high quality photographs of examples, included:
- descriptions of inkwells
- how to tell which company produced it (using styles and patents)

- and more!
