    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

    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.

    Are there any other Canadians here?

    Hello Brian It's amazing the stuff buried in the downtown core. There's still areas in the city with remnants of the old dumps, Cherry street being one example. It's tough digging but some neat stuff from around 1890 - 1915. The other sites are more random such as construction sites, but...
