Then again, Digger doesn't always know what he is talking about either. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to L C) Post #: 23

RE: What is this bottle - 4/16/2007 8:59:18 AM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Yep, Marjorie is right and so is Ron and Digger. Banana Ink (not as rare as you might think) also known as a hot dog ink in this particular style. It comes in a couple diffent shapes, all being oblongated and cylindrical, with flat bottoms and upcurved mouths (Cap and Wayne, behave yourselves). It is a nice piece and obviously, we don't see many of them. I have seen a few around in different shapes and sizes and usually behind glass. Now we know we know more, eh?

RE: What is this bottle - 4/22/2007 10:08:53 PM    marjorie040 Posts: 378 Joined: 12/3/2006 Status: offline How true, Ep I think the variability is one element that makes bottle collecting more exciting! I thought about making a bid on that ink......but don't feel I know enough yet....or maybe I'm thinking if/when I make that first purchase, I will have truly taken the plunge!! Digging the bottles seems to be most satisfying! _____________________________ marjorie040 McClellanville, sc (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 29
