rare unlisted master ink

[tigue710]

heres one I have not been able to find anything about... it made the rounds at hecklers awhile back and no one had seen or heard of it. The lip is possibly applied, but might just be tooled, probably dates in around the 1880's... plan on selling it...

[tigue710]

coulda been a few different things... it was likely an ink, but who knows?

Don't know, and don't care 'cause it's a beauty either way! Pretty color, too.

tigue710, these folks wrote the most recent ink bottle book. http://home.comcast.net/~edandlucy1/Welcome.html

Ed and Lucy Faulkner. Email them, Lucy will email you back and let you know if she knows anything about this company. I've collected inks for a long time and have never heard of them.

I doubt I can afford it, but pm me if you are interested in selling. There are others on here who would be interested as well, I'm sure.

BOSTON - CHEMICAL CO - BOSTON MASS

They made a lot of stuff, even bath tubs[]
They certainly made ink, that is a typical ink form, so its fair to call it an ink.
