I saw that same or very similar labeled ink at an auction some years back. It was a pricey and rare bottle.

Wowie! Pristine. Zowie!

Hey John,

Did it come home with you, I hope? If you have more visitation rights, please do take more photos for us in the hinterlands. There's a grail I never knew I had. Shows to go'ya that this kind of discovery is still possible.

I'm hankering to hear great backstory, and details, please.

Thanks. I needed that.

I don't even think you're through posting, but I'm too impatient to desist. [8D] Again, I say, "Wow!"

Here is interesting history on Elisha Waters. www.fohbc.org

That's a blacking, not an ink, right? Waters did both, as a lot of the early ink manufacturers did. That's one nice cellar find. It'll run at least $400 to $500, maybe more. NOT a common label and quite an old bottle.
