Estate Bottle Collection

One of our founding club members passed away recently. I was asked to appraise her collection for the estate. There are a few things I am not sure of and wonder what people here would think as far as value. Thanks.

This has an 1871 patent date on the other side.

Around $50 on this one. They don't seem to go as high as they should, considering they have both shape and color.

PS In case you didn't know (I can't tell from your post) it's an ink.

A fully labeled example sold in the Watt White collection in 1997 for $230. Hope that helps some.

I have seen the Allings inks go for as high as 100-120 depending on how dark the color. That one looks pretty typical.
