RE: Is this a small Ink - 3/13/2008 4:58:29 PM    spyder   Posts: 54 Joined: 3/2/2008 Status: offline thought of that.....what about the way the lip rolls out by the opening.  Plus there are no wear marks on the outside where it would of rubbed on the bottle. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 4

Just my thoughts. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to spyder) Post #: 5

RE: Is this a small Ink - 3/13/2008 6:13:47 PM    spyder   Posts: 54 Joined: 3/2/2008 Status: offline It could be.  It was in a box of Ink bottles and wrapped in newspaper from May of 1969.   The gentleman that owned the bottles was a digger and passed away a few years ago.  I received all the bottles he had boxed in the top of his garage because nobody wanted to go up and get them.  The boxes were falling apart ( almost 39 years)  so it took me a while to rebox them.  Most everything is from the 1890's to the 1950's.  I will be selling almost all of them.  Not for profit, but so they can be preserved and admired by someone that will enjoy them.  I am just looking to recoup some money for my time spent.  The ones that can't be sold to collectors I will do something with them.  They will not go back into a dump.....at least I won't send them there.   (in reply to spyder) Post #: 6

I've dug inkwells like yours, Richard. I've got them somewhere in my shed, but I'll have to wait for it to thaw out somebefore I can get to it. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 13

RE: Is this a small Ink - 3/13/2008 7:07:20 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 4486 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline I wasnt saying it was a stopper because it was decorated on the bottom, I just asked the question if it was. They posted the second photo at the same time I posted the question. It could be an ink but it doesnt look quite right to me. But then I'm not an ink collecter. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 15

If it is an ink its a very late one that used a cap of some sort. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 19
