Description: This vintage inkwell from Sanford's is a unique addition to any collection. The clear glass bottle has an empty ink color and measures 2"x 2-1/4". The Sanford story is actually a very interesting one. Sanford dates all the way back to 1857, before the Civil War. They made ink and glue in Massachusetts before moving to Chicago in 1866, just 5 years before the great fire burned the city to the ground. Sanford actually survived the tragic fire only to be burned down by another blaze a very short while later. The company rebuilt and became one of America’s largest ink manufacturers and suppliers by the end of the Great Depression. The only ink company we know that has been in the game longer is Pelikan, which got its start in Hanover, Germany, in 1838. It is made of glass and has not been modified. The inkwell is a featured refinement of glass inkwells and was manufactured in the United States. It is a great item for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage writing instruments.
