Nice find and pics[], ive got one of those ink stands, yours looks like its in better shape then mine tho.
Hey Anders,
I'd like to see it, please. I was so sure, I had the only one, too [8D], until I did some looking around. Did yours come out of that dig last season? I know I saw one on here somewhere, laying on the grass with some other guys. Thanks.

Thanks for a glimpse of your great find....any idea what made it "automatic"?
Joe,
I'm not exactly sure. I think it is my only bottle with the word "Automatic" on it. Also my only glass & brass example. I'm missing the funnel piece.
I have this strong feeling that it did not work well. When I found it, it was full of ink. The ink had dried into little blocks, like charcoal. I brought it home, cleaned it up a little, showed it to the bride. She said, "Mine!" and has had it in her cabinet ever since.
They were in a list of Congressional stores for 1893.
Late 19th century
