Doesn't say anything about an ink bottle, however...and I'm fairly certain that ball points appeared MUCH later. <br /><br />When I was in the lower grades of elementary school (100 years after the civil war, more or less), we used ink -- from bottles and "real" pens for our beginning penmanship classes -- by junior high we were allowed to switch to ball point pens.
