    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    This is the ink When I first looked at it i thought might be English. Can't really explain why I thought that. very thick, appears free blown, pontil looks like a crude blowpipe, originally thought it was glass tipped but I hadn't even cleaned it up.

    From a privy in Rens. Cty NY

    Hi cookie Nice bottles. Was wondering if you were local to the Tri-Cities or have been to any of the Capital District bottle Club meetings. A few months ago at a meeting I was looking at an ad for Thomas cream Nector but I can't remember the specifics. If you are interested, I can probably...

The ink I thought was English was probably premature on my part and I had not really looked at it that good, plus some good information from another collector. It is actually free blown...

    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    I am thinking evidence would lead to it being English. In that same layer was a cone ink, pontiled,a different aqua color than you normally see, that when it first came out I just put it on the top of the hole. When I went to clean it you could see the pontil was not the typical ring or tubular...

    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    Greetings. Posted this the other day in another topic that may not be getting much activity so I thought I'd go to the pontils only forum. I opened up an 1850's privy the other day and found one I have never dug before. At this time I will assume it is British and it certainly appears to be a...
