It is 10"x6"x6". There is an opening on the top which is covered by a tambour which is attached to the bottom of a drawer located at the bottom of the box. When the drawer is opened the tambour slides open . The space under the tambour appears to be a storage compartment for stationary. The drawer has an inkwell opening which is 1 1/2" in diameter. There is a sharpening area next to what appears to be a storage compartment for nibs. The box is constructed of oak with decorative brass straps and handles and appears to be Victorian in style. I would like to replace the missing inkwell and learn more about this item. Thanks for any information you may be able to provide. I have what I think is a traveling writing box. It is 10″x6″x6″.

In fact Loetz rarely made inkwells, and when it did, they were high end luxury items. Most of the inkwells sold as Loetz are really Kralik or Stoltze.
