What does it mean to "cut" a bottle? What is the best way to pack and ship? Any other shipping or handling charges? When do I send payment? When can we get started? Thanks for the help... _____________________________ Keep Those Fingernails dirty, *GARY* ~Diggermeister~ (in reply to glopf43) Post #: 3

RE: looking for a tumble - 2/15/2005 8:03:11 AM    Bottle tumbler   Posts: 370 Joined: 4/5/2004 From: Noxen pa Status: offline to cut means to use a oxide just like the one I use for polishing b ut this one is more aggressive and removes the fine scratches and etching, etching is tiny pitting caused from acid in the soil that eats the glass and makes the tiny holes. pack the bottle in bubble wrap, packed in lots of bunched up paper or styro peanuts. if you want to insure you can, but if packed with enough stuff it wont be needed. shipping fees are your cost both ways. first ship the box to me. then when I get the bottle I'll let you know if ot needs cutting or just a polish. if it's dug I would expect cutting will be needed. then after I email you, then you cane send payment. it will be 2 to 3 weeks because of back up on other bottles right now. dont wait to send it will only delay the time. rick (in reply to glopf43) Post #: 4

This was my question; Can you do an inside only? I've got a Langley's reversed 99 that shines on the outside but some to be removed from the inside. I hate to lose any of the embossing. I wish the pic was better but it is really nice on the outside.

RE: looking for a tumble - 3/15/2005 1:13:51 PM    WhiteLighting Posts: 485 Joined: 1/21/2004 From: The Electric City,Upstate NY Status: offline OK to sum it up for ya ---- I have been collecting/hunting botles for 10+ years,and really got into metal detecting 2 yrs ago... but besides that i had over 300+ bottles I found along the old Mohawk river and Eerie canalway and also flea markets,but all had sickness or scratches etc etc.... so i did just what your doin askin about tumblers..... to answer,it is worth to buy a tumbler if your gonna try to make a bit of money,tumblers cost bout 600 bucks,I bought mine from the Jar doc and had it here in 2 days!,.... also any bottle that has a huge chunk like the bottle posted really is not worth tumbling,#1 it could break due to the stress alreay placed on the glass due to the missing chunk,and #2 if your gonna keep it asa momento or somthing its worth having it tumbled,but beleive me it wont sell due to the chunk.....BUT if it was a rare bottle it would sell..... I offer tumbling services to some of the collecotrs around where i live,also only charge 5 a pop!........but if it needs cutting and then polishing,its 10..... AND YES, "cowseatmaize" it WILL NOT HURT THE EMBOSSING ,ONLY IF IT IS KEPT IN A CUTTING "NOT POLISHING OXIDE FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS",.....on a slow setting that is,.......theres a oxide that will remove embossing with-in 3 hours on a tumblers fast setting.....also it will do 2 types of cutting/polishing at once.... EXAMPLE- I use cutting oxide on the outter glass while on the inside i use the polish!.....works like a charm! nice bottles by ht eway,yes i also have broke bottles!,so just want ya to know that your not the only one with a chunk of glass missing bottle.. I have 3 Empress Saratoga bottles with no necks.......Red,Black,green! also selling them if anyone interested... < Message edited by WhiteLighting -- 3/15/2005 1:15:55 PM > _____________________________ It's time for another TEA PARTY!!!!
