Here are some of the tiny bottles I have dug that I think are most likely inks. 1.Embossed "CARTERS,INDELIBLE,INK"(sure) 2. Embossed "D J" pontilled (not sure) 3. Embossed "F K"
pontilled (possibly F Kidder) 4. Unembossed pontilled (ink?) F Kidder made indelible ink but all the bottles I have seen were pontilled and larger with the same type letters.( D J) I haven't found any inks with those letters. Any ink collectors out there have any info or ideas on these. Must have been a challenge to make these tiny bottles with embossing in pontil times. Maybe the one with D J was made for DiggerJeff to find.[:D]

Nice-I'm not sure if they're samples or travelers inks. I'd love to add those to my collection.

Not planning to sell them right away. They fit nicely into my collection samples,miniatures and perfumes I have been working on for years.
Tiny pontilled bottles are pretty scarce these days.
