Cool pics Jeff one day your gonna find that bottle stuffed with old coins. That is cool though nice and old. We got rain and power outages here in MI my engine hydrolocked cause my sewer flooded always working on cars it seems. Looks like you live in a pretty cool looking area nice land and parks around with some history. Keep rippin my Friend. Tommy

Neat find. Can you imagine, every time you wanted to write something you had to mess with that ink and a dribbling pen? I like the old time stuff but I'm sure glad I'm living now and not then! Gary

Cool find Jeff, congrats! That's first time I've seen an inkwell with a drip remover cast into it.

Ditto Todd, if I can't have a hot shower, go ahead and shoot me!

Best wishes!

Nice "glass" find Jeff. Old bottles and glass containers display very nicely.

Yea when I was in School I purchased one of those Pens that had a Ink Cartridge
out of Curiosity. after ending up with Smeared notes, Blue fingers, & Stained clothes,
I Felt the same way you do I never tried an actual Quill Pen that I remember

Interesting what one can find after a good rain washes things down. Even in one's own back yard, ain't it?


Good job, Jeff!

Nice inkwell, I unearthed a twin to it a couple years ago in a iron hole, I was thrilled, congrats & HH

I have that same EXACT bottle! I thought it was a measured medicine bottle. Like, the dosage was what was held in the reservoir. Good to know its an ink well. Here i am going around thinking ive never found a ink well and low and behold i find out that i have found an ink well. Thanks Jeff!
