Item - Antique German 'Jugendstil/Art Nouveau' Brass Rocking Ink Blotter with Floral/Fauna Design, Circa 1900. The rear of the top plate is stamped with GESCH... a German Design Registration Mark.
The Ink blotter is used by slightly unscrewing the knob on the top (this in the form of a mushroom/toadstool) and twisting the brass piece through 90 degrees, then get a piece of blotting paper to fit over the bottom piece of wood and then screw the top back down in its original position. The blotter is now ready to use to keep that writing from smudging (please see all photos).
