Your right though, needs some work, Practice will get you there. I want to try and ID from the pic. The first one is upside down. 2, a med, oh back to the first. Kidding I know you know. Is it Certo or have a line across the middle like a fill line. the last 2 look like hair tonics. If you could give us color, embossment size etc. it would help Also, the embed box can be checked. Eh, I did what I could. Attachment (1) _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back. (in reply to LoRain) Post #: 2

The second one is 250 mils scored at each 50...the third says H. Clay Glover Co. on one side (the edge) and the other side says New York..the last one says The Chattanooga Medicine Co.  on each side and has three ridges above and below the lettering...all are brown....that's about all I can say except I will get better pics and post the rest of my most interesting bottles...thanks for the reply and happy hunting...

Reflected natural sunlight is usually the best and easiest way to shoot bottles. Your bottles are of a darker glass and they can be the hardest to shoot. I live in an area where we average 220 inches of rain a year, so sunlight is scarce. I shoot all my bottles using artifical lighting. The darker bottles take a lot of background light. I also use natural light bulbs. Just keep practicing and you'll be shooting great pictures in no time . Stinger (in reply to LoRain) Post #: 4
