Dug some inks & a bitters at the TOC today

[beendiggin]

I went to work today but got finished early due to the approaching rain. I decided to hit the TOC dump again. I got into a pretty good area, and pulled out a knapsack full of bottles, then covered up the dump until I can get back to it next season. The leaves are all off the trees and bushes that were providing me my camo/cover, so I figured better safe than sorry. At least I have one sure thing to dig next year, as this dump is not finished yet. I figure I'm maybe halfway done. No on site pics today, and I didn't wash these bottles yet, just wiped them off with a rag. I'll get to cleaning them better later. Here's the inks. Two reels and a heavy desk ink. (chipped shoulder)

Here's the bitters...an Atwoods. Weird thing is I could not find this particular varient listed in Ring/Hams book. Lots of variations, but not this one. The closest lettering wise were the pontilled types. This is smooth based. I'm guessing it's probably very common. This is only the second whole bitters I've dug. The first was an "Electric" a few years back. I've dug lots of broken ones.........

We don't see those 'reel' inks in amber too often...Nice that you have a dump to go back to! I wanna see the rest.[]

I dug another type of water...embossed "Agua De Rubinat" and "Condal". Tooled lip, smooth base. I don't know where this hails from, but it's not a local that's for sure.

Here it is with a warrented half pint and a "True Fruit Shrub" a Hungerford Smith bottle.

Last one worth a shot, a whiskey. Thanks for looking.

I just realized I left a California Perfume Company bottle behind.

I have seen literally hundreds of Atwoods, over the years, given that I live near Georgetown. I don't think I have EVER seen that variant. Maybe I'm wrong. But it may be a really good find. Glad you're diggin stuff!
