That is so cool--perhaps back when people still wrote with quills! Congrats. -Lisa & John
 

That's great! I hope that he's been bitten by the bottle bug. The hobby needs young blood.
 

Thanks everyone, I can't wait to show him what y'all are saying! I get him on the weekends

AWE THE OLE INKWELL , NICE...
 

Nice work young grasshopper!
 

Tell your boy that he indeed found REAL GENUINE TREASURE!!! Very cool old inkwell bottle. The young Jedi has eyes like an eagle. He will find much treasure even without a metal detector. Well done.:headbang:
 

I hate to burst your bubble, or that of your son, but for the sake of proper bottle identification, I should show you this. I found it in a bottle dump on a camping trip in the White Mountains of Arizona when I was a kid. Apparently there was a cabin or something where we camped, and there was the ruins of another old cabin nearby with an old wood stove still in it. 1930s sounds right. I found another bottle with it that dated back to the 1920s or 1930s or so, and there were a bunch of those old Prince Albert tobacco tins in the dump.

I think its a glue or polish bottle or something like that, with a lid like that.
 

Nice find, by the way. Hopefully your son will remember it a long time. This old bottle is the first really old one I can remember finding.
 

A truly awesome find.
He should be proud.
 

Nice old relic, congratulations! :headbang:
