Thanks for looking everyone. Yea i was really glad with the cone ink since it has the light purple tint and the Helwig and Leitch jar has a cool color too.

Somewhere there's bound to be a picture of that jar with a good label or two showing what they used it for. Do you have a blacklight to check your bottles with?

I used to have one but I'm not sure what happened to it. The color is a citron or yellow green. Ive seen these jars in a light green or blue color, but never the color of this one.

I just use regular old water and my cleaning tools. They come out so clean because the dump has alot of mud in it which does not stain the bottles.

I got out for a few hours in the Hilton Dump today and got some nice finds. Here is what my hole looked like when I got there. Caved in [:mad:]

I started to work higher on the wall so there wouldn't be as much over burden above me when I began to dig and all these bottles began to show in the rust and clay.

Only keeper in that last picture was this Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company amber bottle. I know theyre common, but I still hold onto them.
