    Pretty and shiny!

    Good morning all! I've been looking at pictures of your bottles and collections, and they all look great. What do you think is the best way to get that nice finished looking shine on your bottles? I'll probobly be selling most of what I find, but I'd like to make sure the bottles look nice...

    Slippery black scummy crap!

    Help!!!!! I've got a bunch of bottles with a slippery black substance on the outsides of them that I can't get to come off. I've tried vinegar, Dawn, OxyClean, I'm trying Listerene even as we spaek, I've been scrubbing my poor little dishpan hands off, but it's not budging! Any suggestions?

    Labels

    This is a great trick I use for all sorts of craft stuff! I haven't had it come off anything yet, and it won't damage old paper or discolor over time. I got this from a lady who has kept "town scrapbooks" for a great many years, asnd even the 50 year old books look like they were put together...

If you have a bottle with a possibly toxic substance in it, like the pesticide/insecticide paint mentioned earlier, call your county landfill. They can tell you what precautions to take, and more importantly, what...

    Ghost or Paranormal

    Whiskey, that was baaad! My toddler was sitting in my lap, and she jumped a foot! Oh well. Anyway, for my ghost story... I was pretty young, and was at a friend's house, she and I were going to ride to school together. Her dad was going crazy looking for his car keys, since he was about to...

    Ah ha!!! I've found one just like the one pictured, cleaning up very nicely, no chips or scratches. On the bottom, mine says the following: DESIGN PAT.D-98026 7517-2 B 36 Any thoughts? I'd love to hear them!!! Also, might anyone want this gem? As I've said elsewhere, I'm not a collector...

    Ambitious Project ~HELP~

    Hi all! I've got one, no label or embossing, but a really cool color! I wasn't sure WHAT color it was until the oxy clean got to work. It's a square bottle, but it's a really light, almost apple green. It's got a concave bottom, like a champagne bottle, but I've never seen a square champagne...
