I know value is not something to be discussed casually for something like this, but I need some opinions. I do not have the intact ink bottle, I have the cracked one. I'm showing the pictures of mine for comparison. Tom has the whole one, which he said is in very good shape. No chips or cracks or anything, but I haven't seen it cleaned up yet, so I don't know how sick. I'll report back on Sunday. The color and shape of the bottles are identical. The only difference is the pontil. Tom's ink has a less distinct OP, with only a bit of rough glass around the edges of the indentation. I don't know if that lowers the value or not, I'd assume not since you can't see the pontil when it's being displayed.
Anyway, Tom intends to sell it and we will split the profit. The more opinions I get on value, the better an idea I'll get of the bottle's actual value, so I can tell Tom if he should sell at a certain price or not. We won't sell it before the Baltimore show, although I've heard that's where all the high-end glass changes hands... That should certainly be fun, walking around with a bottle like this and being able to say "yeah, we dug it!"
So, hit me.
I don't intend to sell the amber-yellow ink, I doubt I'd be able to bring myself to anyway, I love it too much!

] Well, assuming nothing goes horribly wrong.
