British ink. Rare. Not 100% sure of value, but going to be at least a few hundred bucks in VGC. Nice find.

Listed and sold with the Watt White collection by Charles G. Moore Americana in 1996 - 1997 as Lot # 424 for $240. This was 1/2 of the estimated selling price. Beautiful tough ink. Congratulations.

What is that "goop" flowing out of the top? I realize it is somewhat solid and actually has some irridescence color to it. A purist might like to remove it but I think it looks interesting the way it is. Part of its history / life story. No matter what is done to it it is an unusual, pretty piece, one of the better ink forms in my opinion.
