Keller's Inks & mucilage Detroit 16 panel bottle

[deetle]

I recently bought this on Ebay. Aqua Keller’s Inks and Mucilage Detroit 16 panel umbrella or cone shaped applied top inkwell. No pontil. Smooth base. I was told it was from about the 1890s . That is as old as it could be since my great-great-grandfather retired by being a druggist to manufacturing ink, mucilage, and sealing wax in 1890.

Condition can been seen in the photo (the photo is a tad crappy but after I soak the bottle in lime-a-way for 10 mins tonight, I'll repost hopefully a better image.) No cracks and the only chip is just under the upper shoulder.

Any information would be appreciated

Thanks.
