Recent ebay pickup

[baltbottles]

Here's a nice little 12 sided ink I recently picked up on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320258786254
I regonized this mold as one we find in Baltimore on digs. I have shards of it in many nice colors I have shards in a similar green and in a light blue and a grape puce. I've also seen examples in a topaz and aqua. I'd like to put a run of thi smold together in any colors i can get.

What a shame on the Puce ......... what a coloration !

Very nice ink Chris. That puce would have been a killer.

Great ink. Is that blue shard a harrisons?

 

[baltbottles]

No all the shards are of the same unembossed 12 sided mold that I believe was made in Baltimore.

baltbottles,

Very nice ink. This is a pontiled ink I dug in upstate NY last year. It is 12-sided and looks similar to yours, except mine has a rolled lip. Do you think it is also from Baltimore? The color is a cornflower blue or some shade of blue anyway. stonebottle

baltbottles,
Here is a picture of the bottom. The pontil is really big and ragged. The dimensions are: 2 inches across the bottom from flat side to flat side, 1 1/8 inches from bottom to shoulder, 9/16 inches neck length, 7/8 inches across the rolled lip, total height is just under 2 inches. The seam passes through the pontil and goes up to the base of the neck. It is pretty much mint. I posted this one a while back under"Blue pontiled ink found in NY". Let me know what you think, I would like to know where this thing was made. I have never seen an ink like this with 12 sides in this color and no one has ever told me they have seen one. Thanks. stonebottle
