Got 4 of these,the long stoppers make me think they are scent bottles not ink,about 6 ins' tall no marks or labels,Keith.

Keith - do you get a feeling that they are old - is the base wear consistant with some reasonable age - and do you consider that the stoppers are 'right', as they seem to be sitting very low in the necks. Am I right in thinking that a scent bottle, generally, wud have a much longer neck contact area with a stopper. It looks as tho the pontils marks are ground - yes? I sense the hordes of critics descending - but might I suggest a similarity with Manley page 75 (147) - although of course the stoppers are completely wrong on yours. cheers Paul S.

Might do better in Paperweights...

That matt pontil mark is worrying. I have a horrible feeling they are modern Chinese; the PW people would know. Hopefully I'm wrong

Not mega modern , i have had one for at least thirty years a couple of the canes in mine are hearts clubs and spades as in playing cards and i have a similar paperweight i used to use them as door stops , probably in the loft now , they are large the bottle had the same style of stopper as the short one but better proportions .

Thanks to all,I also think they could be Chinese, not a lot of wear or great quality,ta,Keith.
