    Ink well help

    I recently purchased this ink for under $10. I noticed the grey tint to the glass and knew it would be a glower! But there is no embossing on it. Anyone seen this one and could shed some light on it would be appreciated!

    Just so you know !

    I fell for this and I'm sure others have probably fallen victim for this mis-listing also ! I'm sure the sellers are listing them not knowing what they actually are.

    EME Co. Carboy / Demijohn

    I aquired this Carboy / Demijohn locally. It stands 16 inches tall and 6 1/2 inches wide. It is a light Amber 2 piece BIM with the seam stopping approx 2 inches short of the lip base. It is embossed at the base E.M.E. CO. It looks to have a ground pontil but unsure of that aspect.

    These are several 3 piece mold whiskeys I have. Wondering if these are post Civil war or actual 1860'2 bottles. I have several black glass / dark olive ones with iron pontils also.
