Google does not give up much for this company, I was trying to find out if there are any error bottles out there. I have a small 8 sided teal ink that reads: BLACKWOO/ & Co/LONDON
The D is missing and I was wondering if that was an error. The whole word couldn't fit on the bottle so maybe it was common practice? I have to take a photo but this gives an idea. Does anyone know?
I like these little inks and though I know they are common, they still show nice in my cabinet.
Thanks

HelloVrewelaDeVil, Now in my opinion that bottle is a keeper. I am sure that the height of the bottle up to the shoulder didn't have room for the "/ D ", so they left it off. Not really an error - but a necessity. A lot depended on how many had to be made and if the customer was willing to pay for a new mold or mold set.
It at least will be a conversation piece in your collection. RED Matthews
