Bottom: Higgins red ink at my own drawing table, 2004.
Interesting side note: The 1930s bottle was manufactured during the time when Higgins Ink was based in the amazing blue mansion at 271 9th St. between 4th and 5th Avenues in Brooklyn, NY. The house was originally built in 1856 and then altered when Charles M. Higgins bought it in 1898. The ink factory building is in the adjacent lot around the corner on 8th St. [More info: Forgotten NY, NYC Architecture, AIA Guide to NYC, Brooklyn Historical Society, GoAntiques]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l72m3jVEjv1qzdt6ro1_400.jpg)
