Description
in excellent original condition. We looked through several Ansonia catalogs and could not find this one, however, it has the same Calendar Dial and movement as Parlor Ink no. 3. Retains original hexagonal crystal ink wells and unusual Egyptian covers. The base and covers are spelter, and retain old oxidized finish. Note fancy gilt pen holder with horseshoe (ballpoint in photo). The original paper dial has a tan spot in the lower right quadrant, but is quite legible and the Ansonia trademark shows clearly. Height 9" Reserve $500
