Jenning's Condensed Bluing.... First off what is it? a type of ink or an oil? And How old would you think...rare or not so? I have another at home that says "little boy blue" on one side and the other just says Bluing..... Any ideas On what i have here?

We used to have some at the shop and you would get it on you and it would just smear everywhere...the more you messed with it the worse you got.....the good old days when we used to have fun at work _____________________________ Always enjoy nature to the fullest....what more could we want...birds singing and fresh air....AND Lots of neat stuff to always be found...One mans junk may be someone elses treasure :) (in reply to Wangan) Post #: 5

They still sell it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has dug bluing bottles with some bluing still in them. _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has dug bluing bottles with some bluing still in them. I've dug a lot of them that are still "blue" inside,and for some reason these everyday bottles appeal to me and I have a small 'sub-collection' of them. _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 8
