[Peter Zobian]

I NEED TO SELL MY c.1910 ANTIQUE SILVER OVER BRONZE INKWELL WITH A SCULPTURE OF A CHAIN DRIVE MERCEDES

Grand Prix in a race, with driver and riding mechanic. It has two opening compartments, one under the hood for the ink bottle and one under the double rear spares for stamps or etc. It is signed "W. Frick" and has the proper foundry mark "Kaiser", and the old Germany "Alemania" mark stamped on the bottom. I found this beautiful piece in a shop in the antiques area of San Telmo, in Buenos Aires, Argentina several years ago. It is about 15 inches long, 5.5 inches tall, about 8 inches wide, and weighs about 6.5 pounds. It is in really excellent condition. Price: $4,000 firm.
