This is a Civil War-era gutta percha inkwell. It has a screw-off top, has an oval-shaped body, and measures approximately 1 3/4” high including the top. Very good condition with no cracks or breaks.

In the mid-19th century, gutta-percha (hard rubber) became very popular. For the Civil War soldier, this was a great improvement over the usual glass inkwells – they closed tightly and there was no worrying of the glass breaking. [ld] [ph:L]
