(Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline I would say, clean the bottle (all but the ACL) as nicely as possible, then leave it up to the buyer....Some would want it,....perhaps some not. _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to Calbottlegirl) Post #: 2

Buying ACL's is all about the label. If most of it is missing its pretty worthless. sorry to sound harsh but just trying to save you the trouble. _____________________________ " I got my own shovel ready project" (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 6
