Hey all.
Well sense I could'nt seem to get the move on I was planning the wife the boy and I took a nice vacation.We started with a visit to her familys just out side Chicago Ill, and then on to the border waters in Ely,Minn. for some fishing.If you have never been it a great place to visit.Caught quite a few nice fish and even end up with a few bottles . Heres a pic of just a hour or so of fishing.The largest Crappy being a little over 14 in. and a couple of nice large mouth bass. I'll post a few pic of my finds to while on the road.
Thanks for looking and good luck digging and finding all.

Thanks for the replys surfaceone and Juile.
Yea Juile my wife was walking around Ely and saw the soda a grabbed it for me .I found the ink in a little shop in Tower right out side Ely .As for the Sengbusch it a model 62 and with what seems to be the same action as most Sengbusch .A 2 chamber system that is seperated by cork. ink is used in the bottom chamber to push up the closer and the top chamber hold the ink to be used .There is a plastic push in the bottom chamber that floats on the ink pushing up the closer . From what I can find 1903 seems to be the start of the company and the last held pat. date seems to be 1997 .Not that they were still making them but that the company still held the pat.They seem to have sold at about 1.50 in 1907 I payed 3 dollars for mine and was quite happy.Heres a few pictures for ya.Sorry I haven't mastered the art of more than one pic in a post .
Thanks agian.
