Looks like it to me as well - at least not a natural color. I haven't seen a nuked Marion before this though.

Looks like it. I'm starting to think we should not allow posts about nuked, irradiated etc. stuff anymore. This site may be giving sellers the idea being it's such a searchable site. Real $10, altered $300.
Excuse me for a few, I have to go throw up now.

Edit: While I don't like or want to encourage title changes, I am. If the subject is being discussed I want it more visible in search engines. Eric

I really do not think that this site is the reason more and more nuked bottles are showing up. I feel that these sellers are seeing the bids these nuked bottles bring on e-bay, and are responding to that. After all are members have not been too kind to the nukers, I would think that would give them cause to rethink their actions. We need to keep on hammering away at letting others know that nuking isnt the right thing to do, and should not be a practice that is liked by collectors. Maybe it will help, but I feel that those inflated prices on the bay are influencing this vile practice more than our discussions of it.........Andy

True

Of coarse not and that was just said wrong. I don't think we should discontinue the subject at all. The reason I changed the title from "nooked" to altered Marion was to maybe warn people by getting it to top of a search. "nooked" means nothing really. No offense Anthony.
Of coarse if people just like the pretty colors or that thing, that's their decision.

That is just a sick looking color and is most assuredly Nuked, All the more reason to learn all you can before paying the kind of dollars those things bring! What a shame to do that to a nice jar all for a buck!

None taken Eric. Actually you make a good point. I really wanted to title it"S*it stained MARION, what do you guys think?" But I held back cause I've been gitten in troubles lately with my mouth[&o].[]

Has the "ORIGINAL BALL cap" too! []
OK! I'll stop......... Thank goodness he didn't say "RARE" OKAAAYYYY...I'm done.

So, this disgusting jar is bid really high right now. For that price, you could have two amber 1858s complete with their "original color"!!!

Any color that looks like thick gasoline is not natural and not original to the jar. I guess at least 2 people out there really want to pay a lot of money for it, though.
