S. Kirk & Son 6-3/4" Square Sterling Silver Repousse Ink Well Tray

Description

This is an antique S. Kirk & Son 6-3/4" Square Sterling Silver Repousse Ink Well Tray that belonged to my mother-in-law.  According to the research I've done on Kirk silver, it was made between 1890 and 1896, the only years when this particular hallmark was used on Kirk silver, and most likely belonged first to her mother.  She had a lot of Kirk Repousse, but it's all been sold off except for this ink well tray, which I assumed was gone, but found recently in the back of the secretary.  It weighs, on my postal scale, 7.7 ounces, pretty heavy for its size.
