MASTER SIZE HARRISON\'S COLUMBIAN INK - multi sided, open pontil, a crude gem :
$263.00
Offered is an 1840\'s -50\'s master size ink bottle with character, embossed in big bold letters on three panels: HARRISONS / COLUMBIAN / INK. The letters really jump off of the front. Also, on the opposite shoulder in tiny letters PATENT
Please see the pictures for the color - a blueish aqua - not a lot of color but not a pale typical south jersey aqua. .
The bottle is approx. 6 inches tall, 12 sided, with a jagged open pontil on the base and a flared out applied top. The glass surface is very crude - lots of whittle and ruffling that makes this one stand out. A couple of light scratches here and there, but no cracks, chips or heavy wear or staining. Where the should meets the neck, there is a sag in the glass caused duirng the blowing process. As ink collectors will know, Harrison was located in Philadelphia and marketed his inks in a variety of bottle styles. Somewhere ( can\'t recall the source) I had read that Harrison\'s bottles were manufactured at the Isabella Glass Works, in New Brooklyn ( Winlsow / Monroe Twp area) in Southern New Jersey.
