Suggestions - 8/4/2011 11:14:22 PM    charlotte49er   Posts: 19 Joined: 8/2/2011 Status: offline This Bottle was part of the large cache I got. I soaked it my secret cleaner and the bottle is clean enough to drink out of. Except for this funky coating on the outside. I have tried scouring powder and 3M Scotch brite, I have tried "Goof Off". I even tried wipeing it with CLR. (With gloves on of course!) Yet, it still has the irredescent looking coating. It's an old Budweiser bottle, how old I don't know. It has the "B" wearing the crown over that is "CONSUMERS B.B.E." Under that is, "CHARLESTON. S.C." Under that, "THIS BOTTLE NOT TO BE SOLD" On the back is the Anheuser Busch "A" & Eagle and "A.B. CO." The bottom has "0109" with the number "2' Under that. Is there anyway to cut through the "funky" stuff onthe outside?? I'm open to any and all suggestions. < Message edited by charlotte49er -- 8/4/2011 11:17:44 PM > _____________________________ TREASURE SEEKERS INTERNATIONAL http://treasureseekersinternational.weebly.com Gold Recovery Services www.goldrecoveryservices.com Piedmont Area Gold Prospectors http://www.meetup.com/Piedmont-Prospectors Post #: 1

I tried wiping is down with CLR, which is a REAL mild Hydrochorlic acid, but Maybe I should think about soaking it. I don't know what year the bottle is from, but I kind of get the idea that it's worth hanging onto. (in reply to Wangan) Post #: 3
