  Tiffany Desk Pieces
  Produced by Tiffany Studios from 1898 through the 1920's, 
inkwells, letter racks, bookends, etc.,
came in 24 different patterns and various patinations.
Some pieces and patterns were produced for only a short time 
making them quite rare today.

Regarding the CONDITION of the desk pieces:
All desk pieces are 85-120 years old. Collectors vary widely as to what signs of age they are willing to accept. 
Most pieces will show some signs of use--maybe an ink stain or some minor wear to the patina. 
Currently there is no standardized grading system used by dealers, and ebay sellers confuse the issue further 
by describing almost every item as "breathtaking", "stunning" & "fabulous". 
I rarely offer pieces that I would not proudly show in my own collection. 
And, unlike many sellers, if you are unhappy for any reason, you may return the item for a full refund.

*FOOTNOTE BELOW REGARDING SAFETY:

Tiffany lamps contained the best electrical elements--sockets, cords and plugs--available at their time of manufacture. Rarely do I see or hear of a lamp shorting out except from the occasional exposed cord that has lost its insulation from misuse or poor storage.

Every lamp that I sell has been plugged in, lighted with appropriate wattage bulbs, (desk lamps: 40w, single socket floor lamps: 60w, multi-socket lamps: 25-40w per socket), switched on and off numerous times, and left lighted for at least four hours. This is the extent of my safety and functionality test. I am not an electrician. 

Remember, all Tiffany lamps are 80-100+ years old, and things wear out eventually. It is good insurance to have a qualified electrician check your lamp and for you to follow common sense procedures, like using low wattage bulbs which do not produce as much resistance (heat) in the wiring and using GFIC outlets or adapters to break the circuit if there is a short
