A Christmas present to myself !! This lovely cast phenolic Carvacraft double inkwell stand, dating from 1946 despite it's very Art Deco appearance, was part of a set made by J Dickinson Ltd of Great Britain. It has a lovely amber like colour with rich colour and patina, see close up below..... One of the sliding covers is missing, I would dearly like to replace this, so if anyone has one by any chance... please get in touch !!! ...... Jools... further picture on the Homepage....

Another quality piece of CARVACRAFT joins the collection end of May 2003, this stylish blotter ( above and below ) complements the existing pieces already on show, circa 1946...

Below appears the Carvacraft notepad holder, from around 1946, another item from this wonderful range !!

Below an addition to the collection, June 2002, this lovely stylish Staedtler 5700 Black Bakelite pencil sharpener, dating from 1952 in full working order, Made in Nurenberg - Germany.... has a really nice substantial feel to it... displaying typical quality German engineering.
