Three Small Ink Bottles: Carter's, Higgins, and Sanford's.



Three Small Found Ink Bottles.
I showed several found ink bottles before, but they were all of a larger size than these.  These ones are 1 ounce and 3/4 ounce ink bottles.

The one on the left above is a cut glass Sanford's ink bottle.

The center bottle is a Carter's ink bottle.

The Carter's bottle shows the Hazel Atlas symbol.  My father packed bottles in a Hazel Atlas plant in the early 1940s, so I wonder if he possibly packed that bottle.



The cork top ink bottle on the right of the top photo is a Higgins Drawing Ink bottle.

I assume it is the oldest of the three, but haven't yet researched the dates yet.
