what you have there is a nice cone ink! Im workin on putting up a line of them they came in all different kinds of colors. Im hoping to dig instead of buy but that might get a little tricky with them rare colors. I currently only have a dark olive green one and a clear one. I believe aqua is next to clear in it being very common probably worth about 5 bucks

hey tony. aqua cone inks are real common out my way. i see more of those carters than other variations. i think they are worth a whopping $1.00. The blues are worth a bit more.

I dug an Amber cone Carter's 1897, it has a bigger mouth, and is a bit cruder than this one here...what sort of value would it hold? It's not ever going to be sold, just curious.

I also noticed that some of the 1897 cones have a wider mouth. I have an aqua, an amber and an emerald green with a normal mouth, and my cobalt has the wide mouth. ~Jim
