Well I do like it to ! If I were going to purchase it I would not give more than 40$. I say that because the only two I've seen like it had ground lips. I would have to confirm the smooth lip version before I would pay more. But hey, I'm no expert ! Just my opinion. Nice ink ! Mitch

My daughter has one just like it but without the haze. It's beautiful and we gave $35 for it. Hers is only the slightest shade darker than yours. You will find that the darker colors in these send the value up, but the aqua ones are relatively common. They still make a great display piece, though!

Thank you Michael for the information and your personal opinion.

It is a very shapely bottle, the paneled base and attractive block letters contrasting nicely with the domed top. Not many pieces are as visually interesting as those inks, and if I dug one I'd definitely place it on a windowsill. I only actively collect local bottles though, so would pay at most around 40% of the price I would expect to get when resold.

Thank you for your opinion and I agree with you it is a visually interesting design! I also want to thank you for your very interesting answer of what you personally would value it at. Thank you for contributing, Bert DeWitt

Is that what they call a Igloo Ink well? I like it, hope I can dig one someday. I probably wouldn't pay much for one though since I don't collect or specialize in them. Maybe $10 I'd pay? LEON.

I have one just like it, but with a partial label. It's a very attractive bottle, but unfortunately fairly common (but less common than the ground lip variation). I'd say $25 to $30, even though it's one of the more appealing bottles that I've seen.
