Base is made of burl wood from historic Lookout Mountain. Flat section of wood is etched with, “LOOKOUT MT”. Glass inkwell has a fluted design and hinged lid. Inkwell fits nicely in the wood base, but is not attached.

Desk sets were a popular souvenir collectable in the years after the war, as battlefields became tourist attractions.
