Q: I have an ornate iron inkstand with two glass inkwells. The frame tilts down to serve as a double metal lid for the wells, and the slotted racks at the top of the stand can hold pens and envelopes. The metal base is stamped “Pat. Nov. 25, 1879.” What is the inkstand’s history and value?      

Eastlake Inkstand
