I saw a wyeth dose cup at Keene that was the same color...Also Jeff and Holly Nordstrom had a similar if not identical ink for sale there marked MUCH higher...I cannot swear to it but I thought it was marked 450?...just not sure now...                                                                                      Joe (in reply to PhilaBottles) Post #: 42

Status: offline Thanks for your replys and for verifying the value.  The open area on the bottom I talked about does not go through the bottle, it is not a hole.  It is really just a small area of glass that extends the pontil mark.  When I get back up to NY we are going to look for the privy.  This is far out in the countryside and will likely be hard to locate.  But I know it is worth a try.  By the way, my brother also found a shade of green "From The Laboratory of/G.W. Merchant/Lockport NY" hinge mold in the same area.  It is also mint and he will not part with it for any price.  I did not dig very much in the past, but I am really getting interested now.  stonebottle (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 45

RE: Blue pontiled ink found in NY - 10/17/2007 10:57:23 AM    kungfufighter   Posts: 174 Joined: 2/18/2005 Status: online I am saying that the sided, unembossed blue ink is less common than the cylindrical Harrison's but not nearly as uncommon (or "rare") as the sided blue Harrison's.  Simply making this point to explain to Joe why the blue sided ink he saw at Keene (which is in fact embossed "Harrison's") was priced much higher than the value you and others have correctly ascribed to the unembossed blue ink.
