Come with us on a new adventure as we go searching for a historic rubbish tip deep in secluded Scottish woodland! Our search leads us to a 1940's-1960's tip where we find "bucket" list items (literally) and an array of finds dating back over 100 years! Amazingly, two of our incredible finds leads us to the descendant of the very man who made them and our best finds story yet!

One of the best parts of your mudlarking, digging, finding -- is that you don't just sit back and admire your finds. You dig into the history, the stories that these little pieces of history uncover -- and in this case you connect up the historical with the living-breathing people of today who are connected to that history.... Love it!

How kind and thoughtful of you to get those ink wells to the family! About the die cast toy with Condon England on it, Condon Products Ltd. was formed in 1949 when a Don Rix left the die cast maker Lesney. They made a model of the Muir Hill dumper in diecast. Due to restrictions on the use of materials for non essential products during the Korean War (1951), very few of these models were made and business ceased. Lesney toys was the precursor of Match Box toys.

Amazing, how two little Ink Wells have created such a wonderful family history story. How kind of both of you to be willing to share this story and re-unit the INK WELLS to the family that created them. This could make for a classic type Children Book, your channel is so entertaining. The nature photos are beautiful and worthy of a gallery showing. Thank you, and blessing to you both.

I started back to college in the '80's. One of my teachers was a professor Phillips. He explained that he was from THAT Phillips family and when he was small he had two nannies...as it turned out, they were the two sisters who wrote the "Happy Birthday" song. He was quite elderly at the time and this was nearly 20 years ago. I frequently wish I could talk to him again, but I'm quite sure he's no longer with us. So...there's another connection from your cobalt bottle to a viewer's early education professor. I love watching the two of you. Keep it up...I don't think you really know how much you are appreciated!

In the 1970s when I was in my early 20s I used to buy a small little glass pot of salmon paste. could make two or three sandwiches from this. I was very poor young woman and it used to cost 11 cents for one. I remember buying a loaf of bread and one jar for under 25 cents Canadian. It was in a little Italian store in my neighbourhood. Wish I could still find it.

@kitchenworker446 3 года назад

Great finds. I am 59 and I can remember when I was at school we had wooden lidded desks with an integrated seat and they were joined in twos. On each side of the desk there were ink wells like the ones you found. Over the years we children would play about with these ink wells and they got lost or broken as by that time we used ball points and saw no value in these little ink wells. i am guessing that an old wooden two seater desk got dumped in the woods and the wood rotted away leaving the ink wells near each other- which might explain why you found them close together.
