Parker Super Chrome Ink Bottle made by Armstrong Cork Co.


Parker Ink Co. Super Chrome Turquoise Blue Ink Bottle
with Paper Label. 



Superchrome was developed by Gaylen H. Sayler and patented in the early 1930s, but it was not widely marketed until Parker began producing the Parker 51 pen.

The label reads inn script  - writes dry with wet ink.

The Parker Pen Co. Janesville, Wis??. U.S.A.

Here is the top to the bottle.

The bottom reads as follows.

3 0Z                                  88CG

10                               A in circle underlined.

MADE IN U.S.A.

The makers mark is for the Armstrong Cork Co. which later got into glass.

The logo consisted of the Circle-A mark with a notable underline. As with the others, it was found on both amber and colorless glass, and it occurred on liquor containers but, these lacked the “MADE IN U.S.A.” found on the ones with the Circle-A “rmstrong” marks. 

Here is that link for more about that.

However this bottle has the circled and underligned A along with the MADE IN U.S.A. mark.
