About this product
This is a rare, vintage clear glass ink bottle or jar, featuring a reservoir or well and patented in 1759866. Identified as 'LUCKY #13', it has a volume of 2 oz and was manufactured in the United States. The item is unmodified and maintains its original vintage condition. Its clear glass construction allows for visibility of ink, and the internal reservoir design was a common feature in older inkwells to prevent spillage and aid in pen dipping. This is a collector's item, appealing to those interested in antique writing implements and historical office supplies.
Our take
As a collector of vintage writing instruments, this 'LUCKY #13' ink bottle is a truly fascinating find. The clear glass and the internal reservoir or well are classic features of antique inkwells, and the 2 oz volume is typical for its era. Being a vintage item from the United States with a patent from 1759866 adds significant historical value. The 'RARE' designation seems accurate given its specific patent number and condition. While beautiful as a display piece, its vintage nature means it lacks modern seals, so it might not be ideal for actively storing ink without risk of evaporation. It’s definitely more of a collectible artifact than a practical everyday ink container.
