Uncommon Incomplete Sengbusch Inkwell

[Z man]

I have a soft spot for Sengbusch inkwells and pens and a small collection with items from a year or two before WWI through the 1950s. Below are pictures of the top parts and pens of a double-inkwell set. Underneath is the drawing from the US patent showing how this Sengbusch operated. The pictured example was manufactured while the patent was pending, so it is no older than the autumn of 1933. A complete example has eluded me in the years since acquiring these. Does anyone have  photos or more information about this particular inkwell? (The reference library of the PCA does not contain examples.)

 

Additional details:

The DIPADAY pens are stamped with Sengbusch's 1933 patent. These are BHR that were in the sun for many years. There's no need to rub the penholders to get that wonderful BHR smell. Just wave it past your nose.

Oops, forgot this:

 

The inkwell tops slide back and forth. Fig. 1 shows the closed inkwell. Figs. 2 and 3 shows the top slid back, exposing the inkwell for dipping.
