Circa 1865-1875 Billings Mauve Ink

I've never seen this ink before, a flattened dome with early font embossing and a crude shear top.

Embossed: BILLING'S / MAUVE INK

Height: 2" (x 2 3/4" wide)
Color: aqua

Condition: very nice - structurally perfect except for slight roughness around the shear lip, as is usual for shear tops. Pretty clean, just trace haze.

Reference Number:  GW263

Price: $69
