Early Inkwell - 11/8/2011 4:05:21 PM    KBbottles Posts: 1445 Joined: 2/24/2010 From: South Brunswick, NJ Status: offline http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-Blown-Glass-Ink-Bottle-Inkwell-AMBER-Igloo-Turtle-Pontil-19th-c-NR-/170725188594?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c003a3f2 This seems to be very popular on Ebay in a short period of time.  Anyone have any insight on age and history of this?  The listing doesn't provide too many details. -KB Post #: 1

Dont think I would pay much for it if I saw it in a shop, but then I'm no ink (or bird waterer) collector. _____________________________ My web site - http://www.AntiqueMedicines.com/ Medicine BLOG : http://antiquemedicines.com/blog/ Email me : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to saratogadriver) Post #: 5

How on earth could it be worth that much? It goes against all my glass instincts: looks fake as can be to me. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

I've not seen it's like before. The cloche like ink compartment is unlike any "teakettle" I've seen thus far. How would you describe it? Do you know of any Ink Houses that used this form?
