It would be much easier to just wash out a mint bottle and stick it on the shelf. Where's the challenge in that? All the really good bottles I find in my privies are broken. By far the best one I have glued back together was a Wynkoop's Sarsaparilla for the Blood 1/2 gallon, open pontil in cobalt. About 85% of the bottle was recovered and it now sits on my buddies shelf.

Lancaster,Oh.,two different shades of iron pontilled cobalt petal jars,and a deep blue green,pontilled ABL Myer's Rock Rose,New Haven Conn.While they all hurt to pull out broken,they were great experiences that will not be forgotten.They still display nice and are better than empty space or a junker.Great thread,I hope more join in.Doug Attachment (1) < Message edited by appliedlips -- 6/26/2007 6:07:11 PM > (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 27
