BAC10 - Glass

Broome Aircraft Wrecks

Glass jar (two compartments). Ink Bottle - clear glass jar, cylindrical with a small waist approx. 24 mm from top. Bottle is divided into two compartments by a piece of glass across the centre of the opening. The first compartment is large and takes up the majority of the bottle. The glass separating the two sections curves away from the centre and meets the outer glass to form a very small compartment at the top of the bottle as an ink well. The top of the separating glass sits approx. 7 mm below the top of the bottle. This would allow the bottle to be tilted to fill the well without spilling the ink outside of the bottle. The well side of the bottle is embossed with ‘THIS SIDE DOWN TO FILL POCKET’. The base of the bottle is embossed with ‘SHEAFFER’S SKRIP PAT’D 1759866’. Bottle is intact, but has a few scratches and shells remnants stuck to it.
