I'd ask Taz, tazmainiendigger... he is not only a great Inks Guru, but I think he has posted a pic of a very simmilar bottle, so might know the value. cheers.
holy cow!!!! thats *great*, what an assortment! thanks for posting BTMAMERICANGLASS!
So many turtles in one place - so beautiful! How long did it take to compile that bevy of beauts?

O yea, I love J&IEM's, and turtles in general! Anyone have a pic of a vasiline one?!?!?! I've read that such a color has been recorded...
Actually, any pic of any J&IEM that any one might want to share [:)]

Taz,
nice new digs. I got a sun purpled cone at a flea market a ways back, but it didn't have the even luster of that one you just posted, nice.
I felt bad about posting such an awkward pic of such a nice piece, so below [should be] is a better pic.
I think the idea of an ink section...
wow Taz, that is just a fantastic ebay find you've got there!!!, thanks for posting the pic, its always nice to see a colored pic of the Covil inks (that is, when I don't have them in my collection :)
Ink people, Great chance on ebay...I just saw the ink bible up for bid:
William E. Covill Jr. entitled "Ink Bottles and Inkwells." by William E. Covill Jr. entitled Published by William S. Sullwold, 1971. Its only going for 5 bucks. If you don't already have a copy, this is a great buy, I...
Great new addition Taz.
I've been out 'a work lately, and not building up on my collection much, but thats why
I check in on this thread, to see so many great inks!!!!

Tamsin,
you've got to play around with the pic's to reduce their size - often cropping works.
when you get around to posting pics, im sure you'll get a lot more feedback. I'd like to see the lung tonic bottle - might even be interested in buying it - though Im an ink collector, for some...
Great! It will be good to meet you and all the other ink folks...
Heres a new piece to my collection, I just love it. It is a Lyons Ink,
but its a "Sample", so it is very crude.
Taz,
I like it: good wittle, strong embossing, a unique company...great piece. I think my collection might be ready for a nicely embossed cone ink. There is a bottle show in S. NH next week, maybe I'll have to scrap a few bucks together [8D]

Taz,
I like it, good wittle, and strong embossing, and a unique company. I think my collection is ready for a nicely embossed cone ink... I'll have to start looking around. There is a bottle show in S. new hampshire next week, maybe I'll have to scrap a few bucks togther [8D]

Very cool! Wonder if that design was ever made in amber...?
I had seen that embossing design before, but did not know what
company it was - so now I know :)
Thanks for sharing thoes!
Hi Ron,
It is a really unique piece. As you've probably picked up, although I collect all 19th century glass ink types, I have a penchant for turtles, and that one it just so unique!
As the saying goes, when it comes to inks, color is king, and by king they mean big money [;)] But even...
