4, The Ma & Pa Carter Inx

[rhr]

And here are the US design numbers for the goofy Ma & Pa Carter's ink bottles, D45,113 and D45,114

 

The US designs were issued to Charles H. Henkels in 1914, but they were, in fact, pre-dated by Canadian designs issued to Robert Buddo of Westmount, Quebec, on Oct 22, 1913. Canadian Industrial Design no. 3535 is for the Mrs. Inx, and 3536 is for the Mr. Inx. Both the Canadian and the US designs make use of the exact same illustrations.

 

And they also just might show what a pen geek and pen geekess look like in their old age. ;~)

I notice that Ma has a rolling pin in her hand. Pa is cross-legged and wearing a somewhat pained expression. :blink:

 

Evidently domestic violence was not a matter for concern in those days.

It was a defined art. As was properly beating children into submission for failing to properly learn cursive writing.

I am not sure if any of you noticed this auction for Pa Cartex Inx.

Here is a nice 1914 ad for these interesting ink bottles.

Here's my Ma Carter, Mrs. Inx, with a penhead. I turned an ink pot into a pen pot.
