Our take
This T. Davids ink bottle is a fascinating piece of history. The 1870s hand-blown construction and the precise 'Patd. Nov. 7th, 1876' mark really highlight its authenticity. The 'round squat' shape and 'thin lip' are characteristic of the period, and the green color is a nice touch. For collectors of antique American glassware, this is a gem, offering a tangible link to 19th-century manufacturing. Its value lies primarily in its historical significance rather than practical modern use, but it makes an excellent display item for any enthusiast.
