What the hell!  1200 slow cut 24 hrs then 36 hrs polish I think I'm a bottle spinner now.  If there going to break there going to break.  This bottle maybe on someone's Christmas List enjoy privvydigger Attachment (1) _____________________________ thx privvydigger gtr'dug Collector of all Coaldale & Lansford, And love digging Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk & Tamaqua, Pa. sodas, beers, milks.....

Not sure but might be worth a try. DaveLa Mesa ca. (in reply to buzzkutt033) Post #: 6

RE: Wow...i'm spinning - 12/8/2008 5:19:18 PM    privvydigger Posts: 2591 Joined: 7/16/2006 From: Heart of the Coal Regions Status: offline I've seen a few iron pontil bottles... Some with the residue and others without.  I dug three one had the entire body filled perfect circle.  The others nothing much at all.  With or without does not distract from the bottle in my eyes _____________________________ thx privvydigger gtr'dug Collector of all Coaldale & Lansford, And love digging Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk & Tamaqua, Pa. sodas, beers, milks.....

RE: Wow...i'm spinning - 12/9/2008 1:44:17 AM    privvydigger Posts: 2591 Joined: 7/16/2006 From: Heart of the Coal Regions Status: offline So as soon as I find my battery charger i'll put on the Teal pony who by probably my own fault ended up with a crack straight through the slugplate.  I think I tapped the bottom of the bottle next to it that evening cause I have thirty pics without the break.  Lucky it wasn't my cherished but a great bottle still........ see ya soon privvydigger _____________________________ thx privvydigger gtr'dug Collector of all Coaldale & Lansford, And love digging Summit Hill, Mauch Chunk & Tamaqua, Pa. sodas, beers, milks.....

RE: Wow...i'm spinning - 12/10/2008 12:23:20 PM    RED Matthews Posts: 2268 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline Hi privvydigger,  As a kid my parents visited Tamaqua PA often to visit my Mom's uncle.  It pleased me to see these sodas.  One of the things I use to clean bottles is from Walmart. It is a denture cleaner naimed STAIN AWAY+ plus.  It works great for the first internal cleaning - then I dump the material into an old bread pan and clean the outside by turning the bottle a few times.  Nice bottles.  RED Matthews _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to Stardust) Post #: 14
