    Atlas Strong Shoulder w/amber streaks

    Thank you, I appreciate your response and knowledge. As I feel I need to defend myself, I must say that the info you just supplied was not mentioned previously. Sorry that I seemed to have bothered you. I was hoping to and already have been given more info from you that originally.

    Atlas Strong Shoulder w/amber streaks

    Question regarding best practices.

    Here are photos of the Blue Balls I found while cleaning out an abandoned farmhouse. These jars were in a cellar for probably forty years, most of the lids were nearly disintegrated and the contents had long been dust. I would have never thought cleaning jars could be such a chore!

    Abandoned Farmhouse Finds

    And that was the majority of the colored jars, most of the rest of the 80 or so jars are clear. There was one that was kinda interesting it was an Atlas Strong Shoulder that was clear with a yellow streak, but as for the rest of them I am not sure it would even be worth my while cleaning them up...
