    Copper doesn't rust,maybe it's from your test plugs if your not using plastic ones.

    identifying tinted or coated bottles

    Suzanne coating bottles doesn't take a little bit of finesse,It just takes a lot of stupidity!!!!!!. But then again only someone new to collecting with entry level bottles would consider coating them.

    Tumbling techniques

    Was wondering what methods some of you guys use to tumble your glass. I have seen some really nice results and I have seen some less than perfect results. I see a lot of bottles that once tumbled still have an overall haze to the inside.

    Possibly one of the earliest John Ryan bottles?

    Can't believe that anyone would think that bottle is authentic in any way shape or form after looking at it for a minute or two

    Coating bottles is a bad idea

    Coating bottles is a bad,stupid idea! They will end up in the marketplace without people knowing(It happened to me with a very expensive swaim's which I unknowingly passed on to someone else before it was noticed) That Swaim's went through 4 people with probably close to 80 years...

    If the picture is over $300. what would the bottle be worth

    The photo is a fake look at the bottle see the highlights on each side of the neck then the black band running through the center of the neck. That band was made with a card in front of the flash to cut that hot spot out. Plus the bottle is too big and too new. There are a million fake photos...
