The injustice of it . . . that you found this ink, and I didn't!!  WTG anyway!

I think this is a BANNER find.  Auction prices for these are always great, say $500 plus for fine complete examples.  Nice recovery glassman.  I thought it would be hard to beat that nice teal one you got not long ago...but you did it with this one.   Shocked

Nice Ink. Looks great on top where it should be. Everyone learns that treasure is not always a coin or mineral. Congratulations on your find.
