Big Ink

[Relicsnstuff]

Hi all, i have been digging a while but this one is a first, anyone have an idea on the value on this one, its 3 1/2 round by 3 1/2 tall, and embossed Thomas Higgs, i have books but not a lot on inks, i know its rare but i don't know how rare and much its worth.

Great color and more. I'll have to wait and see if the inkers show it listed in Covills guide.[8|]

That's a killer ink, love the color. Great find man!

I love it but will have to buy out my digging buddie, so thats why iam going to need a good number for it, i know i will likely never dig another one.

OK, if I have to guess a bigger size, cone, embossed pontil with a name, in that color. $300 minimum. Maybe $1200
It just seams that 6, 8 and more sides were the common for that era of OP.
Eh, but what do I know. I don't know ink, that's for sure.
Very cool and I hope it's an unlisted.

Hi guy's; I like the little eight panel beside it the best. These give a lot of credit to the distribution of the glass in the final blow. Nice bottles for sure. RED Matthews

I don't even have to pull Covill to tell you it ain't there. Higgs inks are rare as hen's teeth, and I've never even seen that one before. I bet you can't find 2 of those at auction in the last 10 years. I'll narrow that 300-1200 range. I'm notoriously cheap, but if that showed up on the 'bay with a buy it now of 300 I'd own it, even with my wife not working.

Assuming it's the light apple green I'm seeing in the shot, that has to be at least a 700 dollar ink, and I'm betting it breaks a grand on ebay or at auction. Sorry to say, as it'll cost more to buy your partners out than you'd probably like it to...

An EXCELLENT find!

Ok Jim, financial restraint's 3 average 7 and possible 10 hundred +.
Where was I off?[][][]
All kidding aside though, it's not listed in that size? Please look it up, I don't own the book.... yet.
