York Springs torpedo type bottle

Hi Lynette Your bottle is for sure a Toronto soda bottle. The York Springs soda bottles are very common in this area. York was one of the early names of Toronto. The age 1900 - 1910. Robin

Another Town,Another Dump!!!!!!!!!

Great finds Dave The crock jug is a beauty and as Deepwoods said it's worth fixing. I was at a auction in Mitchell Ont a couple of weeks ago and the local crocks were going for a good buck. Keep posting those pics. Robin

Hello all I joined the U.K. forum a couple months ago and it's been a struggle. Most of my post have been about the restrictive nature of that site. I realise that some people are not prolific posters and i'm one of them. But i think most would agree that these forums are a great way to...

Any info on this ink?

I dug this ink recently in Toronto, Canada It's ten sided, shear top. The embossing reads G. Toirays Anti-Corrosive. I believe this ink to be British. I read in an older bottle book that they made a cheaper ink from iron filings that would corrode the paper in time.
