The front and back of the inkwell are adorned with low relief incised decor, which depicts a popular 17th-century Russian topic known as "Fight of the Lion and Unicorn." This topic was often used in Russian art and literature, symbolizing the struggle between good and evil.
Antique Japanese Shō, mouth organ (flute) used in Gagaku (classical performances traditionally for the imperial court). A musician blows through the silver lined protruding mouthpiece.

Providence, RI
1872 - 1934
The men's watch chain or "Vest Chain" is typically much scarcer than the pocket watch itself. This is because by 1915, the watch was retired to storage and the chain “discarded”, thrown away, or women converted them to bracelets. This fine men’s vest chain presented was produced by the Champlin Co. in 1896, inventoried, and was never sold to the trade or Jeweler for sale. It is therefore, in pristine, new but old stock condit...
