Ended at 3 bucks a piece because he wanted to get rid of them.  I said 50 bucks for all he said ok
There's 48 of them
I think I did pretty well
One has a crack and one or two have chips in the top otherwise all are in great shape.
enjoy

Simmer down now Cord. Those are English Penny Inks and they will fetch around a dollar a piece if the planets are aligned in the proper sequence. You did fine Privvy, meaning you didn't over pay....

You "could" get 15 or more each, I personally have sold two of these on ebay for about that.

Status: offline 		At 5 a piece it would have been 240.  You did real well.  Regarding value 8 - 10 - 15 depending on if folks are looking for them.  Great job.  Try to keep the different colored ones for yourself.  I bought 11 English poisons for 60 and sold them in singles for about 110.  Take good pics.

Last I checked I was pretty much sane......... depends on who is looking when you have it up, they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay.  I'd say he got a good deal regardless, English or not, they are nice looking bottles.

Status: offline 		Don't you just love all the aspects of this hobbie! Whether your diggin and finding or buying and trading! Its the way you look at glass and how it makes you feel that really brings the joy. My father was with me today and saw me walk away from the table smiling. I have already gifted away several and will post a pic tomorrow outside for the color.  There are several shades, each top is sheared, several have markings on the bottom maybe Bixby with the X. The cracked ones are on the windowsill already.
enjoy

Status: online 		They are nice interesting little bottles. Nice shapes, various shades, interesting history. As inks go they're ok. That being said, they are English, and they are more than plentiful.
Here are a few links, you guys can make a fortune. Remember a £ = roughly two dollars.....

Status: online 		I need to stay away from poison bottles or get a book on them,as I mostly end up with an ENGLISH POISON.THE last one I bought for $45 and was lucky to sell it for $20,after I noticed many at bottle shows selling for $10 or so.I know we were talking inks,but the English stuff is hard to sell for me any way.I say if it makes you smile ,you done good! Can't buy much of nothing for a buck anymore!
