This one here i wished that i would have taken a before and after pic . This bottle was so sick and it looked so corroded i figured that since i bought it cheap it didn't really matter if it was aqua and looked like sh*t . So i put in the tumbler for a quick spin and out comes this nice dark teal JJ Hottenstine & Bro from Allentown , Pa . I could not believe it , totally made my day !!

Status: offline 		Thanks Madpaddla , was a half-ass spin because i thought was just a plain jane bottle ,. Someone with some real tumbling/cleaning experience probably could get it looking real nice . There is real heavy etching and pitting spots on it obviously from being in the ground and the acidity of coal ash . I would like to find a nice cobalt one , very scarce and big $$$$ !!
