Ink Vents. This device removes the annoyance and danger of filling inkstands and wells from large bottles ; e. g. the cork of the quart bottle is replaced by the Vent. If a nose is cut into the bottle, put a bit of folded paper in it before pressing the Vent cork into place, where it remains till the bottle is empty and the Vent wanted for a new one. Besides the convenience, the saving of a single stain pays many times the trifling cost.

This style is perfectly air tight and admits of pouring into the smallest opening without spilling a drop. The fore-finger pressed over the air vent regulates the flow, so that overflowing, dripping, etc., are entirely avoided
