0.JPG1.JPG2.JPG3.JPG4.jpg These old ink bottles were all found in the trap-door accessed crawlspace under my dining room floor. There are several cone shaped, an eight sided, and an igloo or turtle shaped ink bottle. They are circa early to late 1800s.

The 8 sided bottle says STICK WELL & CO sandchip. My house sits on the original street in town and was one of many built to house workers for the nearby gristmill NHBandit. And yes I have detected my yard and all around our small town quite a bit over the years to find all kinds of relics and treasures tnt-hunter (and am still at it). Mill 2.jpg IMG_8646.JPG
