Our take
As a collector, the patent date "Pat July 8 1895" on this round ink bottle immediately catches my eye, offering a precise historical anchor which is always a bonus for authentication. The green color is quite attractive, a refreshing change from the more common aqua or clear bottles, and it perfectly complements its antique status. It's a simple, classic round shape, very typical of the era, which contributes to its understated charm. For $12.00, it’s a reasonably priced piece of history, though potential buyers should know it’s purely a display item, not for modern ink use. Its value is entirely in its age and provenance.
