| Bottom of Same Bottle |
Embossed on the bottom is "CARTER'S/1897/MADE/IN U.S.A."
This type of cone ink bottle was produced from 1897 into the 1910s. Earlier bottles are most often aqua and the later ones are clear glass. There was a paper label that no longer remains.
The date on the bottom is not clear, but I think it is 1897
Brown is a less common color and appears to me to be an earlier bottle. One of the first old ink bottle that I ever found was an aqua ink bottle.
The bottle has a few small barnacles and remnants of attached shell fish.
Carter's started in 1858.
