Status: offline 		Wow! I never saw this post before. What a great dig! I live in Ohio too but I have never made such a great find. I have scarcely dug up anything before 1900. Maybe it is possible to come down there for a dig sometime when the weather is nicer? I am mostly interested in ACL and crown top sodas but it sure would be fun to dig some earlier bottles.

Welcome back man! This dig was before my time here, and I missed previous bumps. Epic dig! What were the neighbors' reaction to your excavations?

How many of those bottles are still with you? I wanna hear about some more recent digs too. Come on, I'm dirt starved. "Starved!" I tells ya.

Status: offline 		Hey Zane, that`s a real wild dig you had, most of the bottles I dig like those come with some assembly required. I wasn`t on here when you first posted this, so THANKS for bumping it up again. Right now I`m looking out the window at 2' of snow and ice on the ground, and seeing these digging posts gets me really antsy to get back out there!

Status: offline 		Sorry it's been a while again. The question of the neighbors reaction ... Ambivalent. Lol It was in the Ghetto, where most the good digging is. Since this dig many things have happened that changed my life.I found out that there are many things in life more important than bottles. Yes, I did say it but don’t banish me yet.I love to dig for the thrill of the find now.I have long since gotten rid of most of these bottles but with buy back options on some.lol.

A friend dug up a ink-well here in Oahu, Hawaii just like the one in the middle/first row. He gave it to as a gift. Any idea how old it is? Mahalo & Aloha from Hawaii!

They're sometimes called "Penny Inks," and date from before our Civil War time to well after. I like em...



"Also known as dwarf ink the penny ink derives its name from the price paid for these early stoneware bottles. Pictured above, a group of five bottles containing black or blue ink, all dug in South Africa."



"A goup of five red ink bottles. The middle one embossed on the shoulder "Hollidge, London". It is unusual for these penny / dwarf inks to bear any embossing or potters mark." From.
