Good stuff Daniel............any digging in December where you come home with some keepers is a good day.
I really like that Psychine bottle just for the name alone. If you find another one let me know as I would like to buy one from you.

Thanks,
Doug

That cobalt ink with the straight lip finish is great! I also like the Crane extract and that little BIM amber screw-cap. Looks like some fun finds from a fun dump, hopefully you can get out and enjoy the clement digging weather again soon. It will be in the lower 40s here for about the next week, so I'll be digging some more too!

Thanks for the replies guys.

Doug,
I think the Psychine bottle is cool as well. I'll let you know if I find another one.

Yeah, Plumbata, the cobalt ink was definitely the highlight for me.

Hopefully I'll be able to get out again before winter finally sets in. In any case, it's been a fun year of digging for me.

I was so enamored with that Psychine bottle that I did a search on it to see what it was for....Here's an old ad found:

I'm hoping you find one more like it so that I can own it[:)]

That's cool, Doug, and I'll keep you in mind if I find another one. I usually do research on the bottles I find, but with the busy holiday season I hadn't gotten a chance to. Thanks for the info.

I like the cone best too, it's got a great color. Based on the finish, though, I'd say it's a mucilage rather than an ink. The only real difference is the lip treatment, plus of course the label and contents.

Thanks, Connor. To be honest, it never even crossed my mind that it would have been a mucilage, but it does make sense now that I think about it. Thanks for the clarification.
