About this product
This is a small, amethyst-colored ink bottle from the Diamond Ink Co., dating back to the 1910s era. Discovered from being 'dug,' it's an authentic piece of American manufacturing history. The bottle type is specifically for ink, making it a unique collectible for enthusiasts of vintage office supplies or glass artifacts. Its amethyst hue is a result of manganese in the glass reacting to sunlight over time, adding to its distinct character.
Our take
As a collector of historical items, this small amethyst ink bottle is quite charming. Its 1910s era origin and 'dug' status give it a genuine sense of history. The amethyst color is particularly appealing, a natural result of its age and exposure. It's certainly a conversation starter for any display. While it's a lovely decorative piece, its small size means it's more of a curio than a substantial artifact, and as an empty bottle, it serves purely aesthetic purposes, not functional ones. The price point feels fair for such a unique, century-old American-made item.
