A vintage sterling silver figural jigger by Gorham, the sides marked off with enameled stoplights in green, yellow and red meant to signify "go," "caution," and "stop."

The bottom is stamped “Tiffany Studios New York 1641.” The inkwell is 5 1/4 inches long. I know most people no longer use a nib (or dip) pen but this would make a great item for a calligraphy hobbyist or perhaps the inserts could be used to hold paperclips on your desk.
