Blackwood’s Patent Syphon ink bottle, with distinctive pouring lip and hole to rear of neck. Fragmentary bottles of this and the larger size were also found amid rubbish from the early 1880s.
Have found part of the bottom of one of these on Portobello Beach in Edinburgh.
Someone in local FB group identified it from what was visible of the maker’s stamp:
BLACKW
PAT
SYP
Glad the site was helpful. They date from the 1870s.
