Broken inks make me sad

sefox87 · Jan 17, 2014

Hey everyone, I went out digging for a bit today, I didn't find much of anything but this really cool old ink bottle, when I saw it between two rocks i got excited but as I removed more dirt I noticed it was broken. When I pulled it out I got sad because it would have been a beautiful piece of history. I kept digging and I ended up finding the top of it, along with several shards. I'm not sure who the maker is, one shard says Harr.... And the bottle says Colombian ink. I also found a little W.T & CO bottle so I didn't leave empty handed but I sure do wish that ink was whole. If anyone could give me any info on the ink it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking, Sarah.

So, too bad! Definitely validation that y'all's spot is a repository of stunning old glass!
