I've got a beautiful amethyst bottle and matching embossed shot glass. I've looked in all sorts of early advertizements from the early part of the century and found nothing. I'd love to find a selling brochure somewhere with a picture. Somewhere on this site I have a picture of the bottle and...
Where can a guy buy original pre prohibition shot glasses besides ebay and pre-pro.com? I have some whiskey bottles I'm trying to match up with shot glasses and these 2 spots aren't filling the billet.
Thanks,
Jim
When I am able to upload some pictures I'll show you the first ones they made with the oil still in them. The ones I have are the cork top variety with the Thomas A Edison signature across the top with 4OZ SPECIAL BATTERY OIL under that and THOMAS A EDISON inc. under that with GRANGE NJ USA...
Just checking to see if anyone here has come across any history, pictures, etc. of this company. I have a bottle and matching shot glass and just wanted some info on it. I know it was an ilicit distillery selling crap alcohol and passing it off to the customer as 7 or 9 year old rye whiskey but...
Hey all,
I've been using the Jar Doctor tube setup and the boddies of the whiskey bottles have been turning out great but the necks are still cloudy. I've tumbled them with copper and alum oxide for 4 days straight after the bodies were looking great in an attempt to clear up the necks but...
Here's a picture of some of my whiskeys I cleaned with the copper. With the really crappy ones I cut it first with 600 for 12 hours, reversed the motor for another 12 then dumped. Next put in 1200 for 4 days and then alum oxide for 4 days, reversing the rotation every 24 hours. I also collect...
Barbara, I'll give it a try. hopefully these pictures come through. I'm new at this tumbling stuff too. I made my own machine but bought the tube and ends from jar Doctor. I also bought his ingredients/copper, alum oxide etc.
Jim
Barbara, why don't you use copper? Or are you just experimenting with the glass beads to see the results that are possible to obtain without diving into the expense of buying copper?
I'm not chastising you, just wondering.
Jim
Thanks botlenut! Love your collection. I never heard of the black felt trick before and will deffinitely try that one. The white background will get a try too.

Hey all,
Just logged onto this site tonight and looks like I found a good home. I have a whiskey bottle collection with shot glasses that I want to display but don't know what the best format/way would be. The bottles are all crystal clear and I want to show their attributes but don't really...
