Tornado in a bottle - 5/15/2006 7:45:50 PM    Ye Olde Prospector   Posts: 614 Joined: 1/23/2005 From: Bath, Maine Status: offline My son gave me this pontiled ink he dug a while back. The outside was really sick but you could make out this string of glass inside. Finally decided to get the outside tumbled hoping the inner surfaces were in better shape. Turned out great. Interesting glass tornado inside. Cliff Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I like those strange and wonderful strings of glass that occasionally occur during the blowing process. It's even more amazing that they have remained intact through all the subsequent years. Don't lrt that one get away, YOP. Mike (in reply to dirtflicker) Post #: 6

RE: Tornado in a bottle - 5/16/2006 12:30:07 AM    Bottleman Posts: 863 Joined: 9/3/2004 From: Central Pennsylvania Status: offline Quite a unique bottle you have there. I have a common aqua bitters bottle and I forget the name but it has a string of glass on the inside that starts at one point and comes out like a “U” and then reattaches. There is actually a hollow air gap between where it starts and stops. Hard to explain right now. Tomorrow I will get a picture if it and the name for you all to see. It’s pretty amazing and I have no idea how it occurred. ~~Tom Attachment (1) < Message edited by Bottleman -- 5/17/2006 6:15:34 PM > (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 9

As a kid doing the cleaning I had to keep it. I was even more surprised it didn't break since I didn't notice it until after. That was the old shake the sand method. Even though it's a plain Guaranteed I had to keep it Attachment (1) < Message edited by cowseatmaize -- 5/17/2006 12:36:11 PM > _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.
