Ink question

[jdogrulz]

Is this considered a house ink (at least that what I thought when I bought it)? The color, is this considered dark aqua or aqua blue.......not sure?

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,...I'd say that's probably an English sheared top ink,....On my monitor the color looks sapphire blue, and I've heard those reffered to as "Boat" inks. Someone with more knowhow on inks might have better info. Great looking bottle and pictures...

Ok, great, that gives me a clue what to look for. I was looking at some other house inks and they didnt look quite look like mine.
Thanks again for your time Joe.
Jeff

School house ink meant to hold a pen on each side of the roof.....
