Mike, You dog you....I was the underbidder on that baseball inkwell!....I was already measuring out a 4 1/2" square spot for it.....I think I even recall the passing thought you might bid on it....I've kind of gotten into inkwells and needed a baseball one. Having the 1913 date stamped underneath is very cool....I'd have thought it was 1920's otherwise....Intuition says it looks better in person than the photo....Congrats Mike, nice shoot'n...below two of my best inkwells...the sculler is around c1900 I think.....the weightlifter is likely French very c1880's.
