Want to know if my brass Daniel Lambert inkwell is original to 19th century. Front width is approximately 6 inches wide, sloping inward sides, 5 3/4 inches, rear 4 inches, height approximately 4 1/2 inches, insert opening approx. 1 inch. Appears to be solid brass-when scrape all you see is brass and not base metal; lambert's head is the inkwell cover that lifts up, legs extended outward with turkey in front of his hands. no markings. brass pin on underside fastens his upturned hat on base by his left side. If original, what is its value?

It is solid brass, and probably is worth more as the metal than as the product because they are still fairly common and not that useful.
I suggest you go to someone who deals in high end fountain pens and see if they can give you some idea of value to one of their collectors.
