Vintage Inkwells

Grandpa Thomas' Antique Inkwell



Antique inkwells are popular collectibles. Some of the most popular types of vintage inkwells are glass or silver inkwells. As with most collectibles, that value of something is basically whatever someone is willing to pay. But it goes without saying that vintage collectibles in better condition will sell for higher prices,as well as items that are rare. Some valuable inkwells have recently sold for high prices on eBay including:
A Turkish Ottoman Sterling Scribe Inkwell Pen Holder that sold for $1800
A silver Georgian Penner travelling inkwell dip pen that sold for $957.07
A Grand Tour bronze Inkwell Temple of Vesta 19th Century that sold for $659.99
A French Machine Gun Inkwell Bronze Sculpture Malespina that sold for a value of $527.
A cut crystal sterling Guilloche enamel inkwell which the buyer felt was worth a sale price of $499.99.
