Ink off ebay

I know it was posted in the current auctions section somewhere, but I couldn't find the string. Anyway, I got it. Anyone ever heard of Wm. Speer before. I'll post the bottle then the label. I like the label "autograph coat of arms" is what it says under the script. "chemical writing fluid" appears to be the bottom line.

And the label. Sorry if the pics aren't perfect, I'm still learning to speak bottle and digital camera. Whether it's original... Always a question with these labels. This seller also had a labeled umbrella that looked original. I don't remember seeing this label floating around loose on the Bay though:

SWEET! I posted that as a second link in an ink thread in "Current Auctions".

I remember your post, but couldn't find it (didn't look hard enough probably). He also had a niced labeled pontiled umbrella, but the label was fragmented, so I only went to about $60 on it. Someone wanted it worse.

It can be tough to buy stuff on the Bay, some of the ink collectors will pay outrageous $ for something they 'gotta have.

i know, my little brother just got 482.00 for an OP emerald green umbrella ink.

The style of the label looks correct to the age of the bottle. I'd say 1830s-1840s.
