    I bought both of these inkwells about 59 years ago. I’m not sure if they are antique or not. Any thoughts folks?

    I've got that round one, Edwardian. The other is probably French, same sort of age.

    This one looks French to me too. Late 19th century imo:

    This one could be missing a base/holder, or maybe it used to live inside a writing slope, in a fitted compartment:

    aj, I think those flat round ones were relatively standard office issue? Designed to not topple.
