The weird thing is we have bottles throughout the house, and never took one big group shot because he kept bringing in bottles for several days. I weeded thru all embossed and still have a table full of what I think is a lot of food, black glass and whiskey etc. He found a small Harrison Ink 8...

Hey thanks for all the responses, i hope to gain some good relationships with you all, I have a feeling I could learn a lot. It is funny how things come your way. I hopefully got the picture thing figured out, check out some inks. There is a nice black glass 8 sided umbrella.
