wow!! Congratulations, for the find (Aan odd neat one) and ..the tunnel. Don´t forget the precautions. Try always a way to help someone in there. Very dangerous, and more after a earth quake or rain. Alex.
Hi Russ. (forgive my bad english) Don´t be embarrassed to share bottles not clean yet.
Its important to show details in the finish.
The bottle has some words embossed then it has mold seams that begin on the heel going up to the top. An interesting detail is where they finish. If it´s possible...
They all are awesome!
