Here is another bottle dug today. It appears to be a cone ink bottle but if so it is one I have not seen before. Anybody have any ideas on this bottle? I has circles embossed around the shoulder and a line across the midbody with " Fill To This Line " embossed abover the line. No base marks.

Cool bottle slim. It does look like a ink but would bet it was a atomizer bottle. I have seen the spray perfumes embossed with that before... Taz

Taz, That thought crossed my mind as well. I am leaning more towards the atomizer base but how would it attach ? I thought most of the blown in mold atomizer bases had ground lip threaded necks for attachment ?

I knew I had seen something similar . I have the ink botle in the book in one of the boxes around here somewhere. I emailed the past president of our local club. Inks are his passion so maybe he can shed some light on the subject. I will post the response when I get it. Thanks for your effort on this one.

Yes, they are very collectable. My wife loves em. She has several and they get quite ornate. Heres a neat one. This one looks like an ink. She also has one that looks like a pineapple.
