It looks like it could be a groove ring wax seal with pressed laid on ring. < Message edited by woody -- 3/6/2009 11:42:20 AM > _____________________________ Woody (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 3

RE: Yesterday - 3/6/2009 8:00:57 PM    appliedlips Posts: 3508 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline       It was fun dig for sure,slop and all.Hopefully the next one will have more in it and the inks will be full of embossing.I think I can see Hit & Run Jimmy's spirit in jar on the left. Here is a picture of the soda on the left,it's definately teal.Dime a dozen in aqua but this one will be nice if it cleans up.
