Ink Well for Parker Super Quink Bottle clean your desk office tidy (2022)

I have not been very active in my hunt for fountain pen for a long while. This is a Parker Pen ink well Super Quink Bottle desk set most probably for Pen dealers. I first saw this in 1988 when I first started vintage pen collecting. I can still remember visiting the pen shop is in Bras Basah complex but the ink well set was not for sale. I saw one for sale several years ago but the asking price was high plus I was too late to bid for it.

This afternoon after lunch, I have decided to goggle for one and finally found one from UK. It needed a thorough cleaning.
