RE: Fire in the dump - 9/24/2008 3:34:39 PM    cj4258   Posts: 12 Joined: 7/16/2008 Status: offline wow, very nice. forgive me, this brings up a question i've been meaning to ask... i bought a local slugplate bottle recently that was in good condition, and noticed that its throat had a slight lean to one direction.  noticeable, but still slight.  i haven't thought much about it beyond being a manufacturing flaw until now.  is any lean in the throat of a mold-blown/manufactured bottle a cause for suspicion?  would there be any other telltale signs that it would have been the victim of a fire beyond obvious scorching? _____________________________ always looking for Paris, Tennessee bottles!

RE: Fire in the dump - 9/25/2008 6:02:23 PM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 517 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline I really have no answers regarding your bottle, however, my 2 bottles really have no sign of fire (scorching or otherwise). The glass is slightly hazy, but quite honestly I wouldn't be able to say if that was from fire or being buried in the dump. The glass really doesn't look that different than other bottles that are dug.

RE: Fire in the dump - 10/14/2008 10:59:31 AM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 517 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline This was actually an old hotel dump... I know that sometimes ash was dumped that still had some hot coals and this started fires. I used to burn my trash in the mid-late 90s when I lived out in the country. (There is still a little of that around here..) Kate _____________________________ When god closes one door, he always opens another, even though sometimes it's hell in the hallway.
