    Description

    Original Civil War small ink well.  These are called "break aways" in reference to they way they were produced.  They were filled with ink, then a small glass bubble was melded over the top to seal it.  When ready for use, the top was simply broken off and replaced with a cork.  Popular for a short time.  Solid example except for the jagged opening of course.  Unique rectangular shape for these.  Measures  3 inches tall by  1-1/2 X 1-1/8 inches in diameter at the bottom.  Condition is as pictured.
