Rocker Blotters ~ Ink Blotter Paper
Back in the 1800's blotter paper, a soft, absorbent paper, was used to absorb excess ink left over from writing with a quill or fountain pen. It wasn't until the late 1800's that Rocker blotters became popular here in the USA. Their popularity lasted until about the 1950's.

The Rocker Blotter is a writer's tool used to blot excess ink - basically designed so that you don't have to wait for the ink to dry.
Most are devised with a handle that unscrews allowing you to insert blotter paper onto the rocker. When you re-attach the handle, it tightens down the blotter paper. Rock the blotter back and forth over your wet writing while the blotter paper soaks up excess ink. ← Shown Here: Quench Boy Blotter |
