Here are a couple picture of a few things I brought home. I ended up with the star ink in the pick as I have dug 3 others but never got one in the split and since I already had a Coughlan torpedo and Phil didn't have one it was an easy split. here is the star ink with the two damaged snuffs both snuff look to have been blown in the same dip mold. Both are different colors one is a striated amber with darker amber swirls and a black shoulder and lip the other is a light yellow green with an amber lip. Very odd colors for snuffs.

And here is a headless Cole ten pin in about as dark of a blue as I have ever seen this is the mold with the smaller letters and street spelled out this is likely a circa 1849-50 bottle and a yellow green Gardner & Brown torpedo this is a circa 1846-48 bottle. I have a few things to still glue and will post some more pictures in the coming days.

Don't let Phil bring any empty boxes, Chris. That will surely kill your digs.
