Bixby color/style variations

I know they made a few different kinds. I have found a bunch of the Aqua-blue ones but here is a light green-Aqua. ..

Very nice I have yet to find a bixby. But that light green one is nice.

They are somewhat common where I dig but this is the first greenish one I've dug.

I wonder if it's a regional thing because Carter's cone inks are the most common I dig.

I bet it is.

Have dug a few bixby's here in central mass. Have them in aqua, amber, and clear but none as nice as your green one.

Thanks a lot! I wonder if it's an earlier one based on the neck and lip being different than others I've dug.

up north I have found the ink's and down here I have found the taller mucilage .

The bottles Goldenplug has shown us are likely to be shoe polish bottles. You can see other color variations here: S. M. Bixby & Company | GLASS BOTTLE MARKS
