McCLELLAND BARCLAY Donkey Ink Blotter

McCLELLAND BARCLAY Donkey Ink Blotter

This bronze-plated metal donkey ink blotter was one of a series of figurine-topped ink blotters made in the 1930s by McClelland Barclay Art Products, Inc. A useful device to avoid ink smudges for those who are fountain pen users. The donkey figurine also makes a great analogue desk accessory, and perhaps a political conversation piece. Paper refills not supplied, but are readily found.

Year Made: 1930s

Condition: very good vintage condition with some slight loss of plating at the back; blotting pad is missing; stain on the metal on the base

Marks: McClelland Barclay in script faintly on the back on the clip
