Ink I Found today - 1/15/2008 2:08:47 PM    idigjars Posts: 1310 Joined: 12/24/2004 From: Michigan Status: online Hello folks, I found this on  my way home from work today at an antique shop I stop at once in awhile.  Just a little larger than what I have seen before.  The ink on the right I dug along time ago and just never cleaned it.  It's the regular size about 2.5" tall and 2.5" across the base. The ink on the left was the ink I found today.  It's a little over 3" tall and across the base it's about 3".  Smooth base.    I will put it in the tumbler tomorrow and see how it comes out.                 Paul Attachment (1) Post #: 1

We dig them once in a while here, and I keep every one I can get. The varieties offered by umbrella inks are endless. My favorite one is a little pontiled 12-sider from our very first pit. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to idigjars) Post #: 2
