Vintage Metal Rocker Ink Blotter, Antique Brass Art Deco Desk Accessory
This is a beautiful example of days gone by. I believe it is brass or made of metal with a brass finish. I have seen this blotter attributed to the Kronheim and Oldenbusch company that operated from the late 1800\'s until 1939 so it is possible that this is an antique item versus a vintage item. Floral/art deco design with removable brass plate. It is in excellent condition for its age. It does not have any markings.
It is 4 3/4\" long and 2 3/8\" wide. Blotter only as it does not come with blotting paper.
It would make a wonderful addition to any vintage desk setting.
In the early 1800\'s hand blotters came into existence. These blotters were often made of wood, stone, metal, porcelain or glass and had a small handle, curved base and felt bottom that could be rocked over the text to remove excess ink. By the mid 1800\'s paper often replaced the felt. The paper was soft, had a cardstock-like weight and was generally made with fibers of cotton, flax seed and rice which were absorbent to aid in soaking up ink and providing a quick drying time.
