YOU GUYS GOTTA CHECK THESE PICS OUT!! BEFORE & AFTER!!! - 2/5/2006 5:12:08 PM    dirtflicker Posts: 938 Joined: 9/19/2005 Status: offline As most of you know, I recently excavated a SHAKER SYRUP.....It is considered a rare and fairly valuable bottle. Well, mine was badly stained and even etched a little due to all the ash in the dump I am digging. I own a tumbler so I decided to give it a tumble. I usually just tumble my bottles for a couple days using aluminum oxide polish....thats it....no cutter. Because this one was so badly stained I decided to tumble it for 3 days using 1200 silicon carbide cutter and then for 2 days with aluminum oxide polish......WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!! Did this bottle come out sweet or what!?!?!?!?!?!? DF BEFORE.... Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I have not seen that exact variation sell before. It may go for more if it is a rarer variety. < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 2/15/2006 8:28:50 AM > _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to dirtflicker) Post #: 18
