Re: Ink bottles...
Current Sailor cube bottles are quite nice if you get the matching inkwell.

Re: Ink bottles...
Have you guys checked on Alibaba? There are many different ink bottles available there. Some have very large minimum orders, but you can set the Alibaba search filter to screen those out.

Re: Ink bottles...
Waterman bottle is good for me, but when my ink is really low I use a rubber bulb pipette/dropper, preferably glass and transfer ink into a glass vial (Floral Water Tubes/Vials Clear - 3" (1/2" Opening) - w/Caps {found this online} and I stand it in an ink bottle and slowly siphon ink into the pen, as to not make it flood the vial when I pump it in and out! Have to raise and lower the pen to avoid that! Works down to the maximum level. The 1/2" opening has been able to fit any of my FPs so far. I love a faceted ink bottle that I found floating in family stash somewhere because it is basically round and faceted all over and can tip very far down, the bulb at the base is slightly wider, more like 5/8" at the bottom. Useful as a tool for this process as I can put the vial inside AND tip it on a facet and turn the pen up so that the feed is submerged the most. Hope this gives you ideas too Forgot to mention that the syringes that come from the vet are in a plastic vial that is similar AND has a handy plastic lid! I've used the syringe with the vial and lid for the same purpose and it works great, it is just a bit wider than the floral vial I had, a full 1/2" I believe, or a skosh more.
