These 3 ink blotters are in very nice condition. All three display dial candlesticks which would place production sometime in the 1920's or 30's.

NOTE:  Back in the days when everyone used quill pens and fountain pens, the one thing that could be found on every office or writing desk was an ink blotter. Ink blotters were usually made of a soft absorbent paper formed into a card and were used to dry up excess ink.

With the invention of ballpoint pens in the 1950's, ink blotters disappeared from the average office desk.

c. unknown - This ring has the same logo as the Gold Employee Lapel Pin (below) displaying 1 center keystone surrounded by 3 smaller keystones. On the ring there are three stones, what look like a clear stone and two red stones, one set in each of the smaller surrounding keystones. This ring would fit either a person with very small fingers or possibly a child.
