...writing technology that is truly "old school."
This beautiful little wooden box is an antique writing desk from my great-grandfather's family. It's about 11" x 8".
Sweet little glass ink bottles with metal tops.
There's some old dried-up ink inside...I wonder if I could buy or make some new ink?
A little compartment with a lid...maybe for holding stamps?
One side of the writing surface opens to reveal storage space for stationery.
The other side lifts open for more storage...my grandmother tucked these really-truly fountain pens into this compartment.
The smaller pen has a velvet-lined case...very classy.

Very classy. Josh says he knows how to use the pens, now we just need to find you some ink that you two can practice with.
Very nice. Nana and Granddad are very thoughtful with gifts.
how wonderful. I agree that Nana and Granddad send very thoughtful gifts. I have revived a platter and bowl set that I have used for entertaining a few times and love them.
What a beautiful gift!
Very cool.
That is really something. I was watching a movie the other day (it took place in the mid-1920s) and one of the characters had a writing box just like that one.
I love the writing box! Very classy
