Here is the newest acquisition to the inkys! A green 5 sided Maynard and Noyes Fine Black Ink....This is the first American manufacturer of ink. The company started in 1816 in Boston, Mass. Enjoy, Taz

Taz, That is a real cool (and unusual) mold. I don't recall ever seeing that paneled form. And a great tubular pontil. Very nice!

Mike please put out some more of your inks when you get a chance! This thread will be a mind blower to ink heads![8D]

That ZANZIBAR is amazing,what a label,,,and the box too.....what a bargain!

I believe that I may have put these out early in the thread, but these are 3 of my favs...

The large geometric is the GIII-20 pattern probably blown at the Keene, NH Glassworks. It is one of a handful of examples. The Pitkin is just an incredibly light colored and crude example, and the mellon ink is probably Pitkin, CT, late 18th century, and a best possible example. Extremely rare as well.

Here is a great group of Farleys inks.... naturally, all a product of the Stoddard glassworks.

Awesome Mike! Are they for sale????? My buddy Tom who dug a Byron/Scott flask this summer ( His first year digg'n) also found the large size farleys stuffed between some rocks in his old Ossipee farm house foundation,,,,,, Bummer it was only half a bottle![]

Thanks, but all of these are NFS. I will post a few more great inks a little later.

"Half of a Farleys".... Why do the good ones usually come out in pieces, but the Hoods Sarsaparilla are ALWAYS perfect!
