Functional object - Red Seal Ink (Black)
The Red Seal Ink brand was a common manufacturer of writing ink during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Such boxes typically contained glass bottles filled with ink for fountain pens or dip pens. These ink boxes were often used in schools, offices, and by clerks and professionals who relied on ink for handwritten documents. The presence of detailed instructions suggests that the ink had a specific method of application or use, possibly a self-dispensing bottle or a sealing mechanism.A small, square, vintage cardboard box with a red-coloured exterior.

The machine has a keyboard arrangement at one end, the other end folds out to form a platform which is held up by a metal strut with rubber capping.
