Labeled Higgins' Ink

Robby Raccoon · Oct 17, 2016

I can't remember if I've posted it before.

In terms of how much label is there, it's nearly mint. In terms of soiling, it's quite soiled.

Circa 1881. Established in 1880. Bottle likely 1890s.

Higgins' American India Drawing Ink

Base embossed.

Nice ink! This is the closest I have to a labeled ink: J & IEM embossed around the base, barely any label left on it.

I really like yours!

Most Higgins are ABM. that one's definitely blown so I'd agree it puts it pre 1900, likely. Much harder to find a blown Higgins, especially with a nice label.

ACLBottles, it's still neat to have something legible on its label.

SaratogaDriver, I've seen a few, but this was by far the nicest label and worthy of a few dollars to me.

Absolutely agree on both counts. I don't generally collect ABM inks, so don't have a Higgins, because it's that much harder to find a good BIMAL one.
