    Was afraid of that... the brush might do the trick, though. You can almost read the labels as they are. One has "One Full Pint" in raised letters in the glass. I'll try and get some pics in the next day or two.

    Cleaning a bottle with a label

    We're restoring an old house and while pulling down the ceiling in the basement, under the kitchen, we found several old bottles... an 1858 Mason Jar and a Ball Mason Jar, as well as two dark colored bottles with labels on them... Thos' something's something... can't read it due to heavy dirt...
