New Ink Acquisitions - 10/29/2007 9:08:26 PM    idigjars Posts: 1767 Joined: 12/24/2004 From: Michigan Status: offline Made a trade this weekend for a few inks I needed for my Carter 1897 cone collection.  Got the three in the one pic and also the case to house my inks.  The only problem is the case won't hold them all.  66 of them in there though.  Paul :) Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: New Ink Acquisitions - 10/30/2007 6:35:12 PM    idigjars Posts: 1767 Joined: 12/24/2004 From: Michigan Status: offline Hello Everybody, thanks for looking at my inks.  I got the case from the collector that had the ink collection I traded for.  I think it would be easy enough to duplicate the process for this case.  It is pretty simple but eye appealing also.  You all take care and good luck collecting.  I will try and post my Piso medicine collection up soon.  I love those also in oddball colors and all the advertising go-withs also.  Best regards!  Paul (in reply to CrewelaDeVil) Post #: 11

RE: New Ink Acquisitions - 12/8/2007 6:58:08 AM    idigjars Posts: 1767 Joined: 12/24/2004 From: Michigan Status: offline Hi Vic, sorry I didnt' see your post before.  I collect any Carter cone ink.  I do have some masters and other stuff but try and concentrate on the cones.  I also collect unembossed cones in nice colors.  I have a Carter Thermometer but do you know there are 3 different types based on what part of the country you lived in?  I just found that out when I made the trade for some of these cones.  I traded an original wooden backed tin sign probably from the twenties for alot of those cones.  Anyway, email me and let me know what you collect.  Do you have any cones to trade or sell?  Best regards,    Paul (in reply to Dansalata) Post #: 16
