I'm really pleased.....It is a really worthy bottle for repair and displaying purpose. My A. Campbell squat has a chip but it displays well and I'm happy with it. After all I'll bet they reused some of the ones with little damage
here's before

Did he do an epoxy repair or cut off the top portion and replace it from another "sacrificial" bottle?

epoxy repair and a fine one at that. He's been doing it for years and gave me what was left to practice on a broken one

That looks great
Your friend did an awsome job.
I was trying to see where the repair was but couldn't find it
If I'm displaying a bottle with a chip on it, my eyes are drawn to the chip every time I look up at it no matter how small it is
That would certainly relieve my eyestrain

I just replied to another thread asking about a product and process for doing exactly this kind of repair..

What did your friend use, and do you happen to know how he ended up with such a nice fit/contour ( for lack of better description) between the resin and glass ?

Looks great !
