Oh the stuff of Lovejoy dreams ;~) Very nice stuff, Tiffany always sells well at auction. The calendar holders often sell for $500.00 , the inkwells, the pen trays $300.00- $500.00, the double inkwells $3000.00, the wee pots $300.00 and the blotter ends about $300.00.

I hate to be an easy mark, but marketing these items has not gotten any easier. A well-known auction firm "couldn't find it in any book", so declined to evaluate it (!). Another eBay customer offered us peanuts. We'll try again. Thanks for thinking like I do!

It is exactly as I described, it is the real deal ;~) Try contacting Treadway Gallery, ( see link below) they'll know what you have, and be happy to sell it for you...
