A silver plated desk calendar and combined ink stand, the rectangular base with pen recess in front of a rising date panel with a turning lever to either side, the glass ink bottle fitted with a silver plated neck and bulbous lid. Length of base measures 4 3/4 inches (12 cm), maximum height including bottle measures 3 7/8 inches (10 cm).

The lot displays general surface scratches, contact marks, little nicks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier wear around edges and corners. Some dints and bumps including a larger dent to the lid of the ink bottle. The two levers controlling the date are still functioning, however they are now quite loose and some of the numbers do not stay in position. Glass reservoir to the bottle is still present. The hinged lid appears in working order, however a slight gap remains when in closed position. Some chips to glass.
