New dig in my area. Only had time to eyeball a few bottles, but did pull this BIM master ink.
Embossed: Caw's Black Fluid Ink. Doesn't have a spout, but the inner lip has 3 tooled ridges for pouring.
Am guessing circa 1880.

Good stuff...I've seen the small Caw's before but not that master. Love seeing some good stuff dug!

Thanks, Jim!

Went back today. Lots of broken stuff but I did dig a "John H. Young / Philada" squat blob. Smooth base. "JHY" emblem on the back. Still has the cork inside (hard to see) but am hoping it'll shrink when it dries.

Dang! You're into some good stuff. Very jealous.

I have been very fortunate lately. But I know luck—it can dry up anytime. Someday they'll finish all these developments and high-priced pigeon coops, and these artifacts will either be destroyed, moved, or entombed again, long past my lifetime. So in the meantime, I'm enjoying the experience and saving some history to pass on to my kid.

A couple more finds from the latest spot...
LEFT: Small clear med, square with "clipped" corners. BIM with bubbling. Base embossed: W.T. & Co.
RIGHT: M.E. O'Brien embossed squat soda.

...and the base of that clear med, W.T. & Co., which I believe is Whitall Tatum. Anyone confirm?
