This is a smaller version from my collection...The Co. is FM & Co. I presume it is english. I think I gave $25 US for mine . I like yours! If you decide to part with it let me know!

RE: Rare Bottle? - 11/2/2005 7:52:52 PM    Pontiled   Posts: 411 Joined: 8/27/2003 Status: offline Those bottles are English inks. FM&Co. and the sword are traditionally found in quantities in England and many have found their way over here to the U.S.A. I cannot estimate a value for any of them but they are definitely NOT SCARCE.
