James W. Tufts ~ Double Inkwell platter ~

I have a James W. Tufts ~ Boston Guaranteed ~ Quadruple Plate ~ 2859

Silver tray 9" long by 4" at it's widest point (measurements are done with ruler, Approx but real close)

Scroll motif around edging with what looks like a orchid (?) centered on both sides. 

2 Brackets for pen is attached and does not appear to have been reattached at any time. 

4 Raised tapered corners 1/2" at the highest point sit at both ends to hold the crystal inkwell.

Centered between the two sit a raised dias (1-1/2") where a open shell (1-1/2" x 2" open 1/1/4") sits that holds the envelopes (?)

Bottom has the mark listed above  and has 4 ball feet approx 1/2" high.

Each crystal inkwell measures 1-3/4" x 1-3/4"x 1-1/2.

Lids for inkwells are VERY heavy with beautiful design on top. (wish I knew what the patterns are) They are each topped with a domed top finial that have beaded edges.

I bought this at an Estate Sale in Chattanooga, TN.  This is the best that I can describe this.
