    Before and after Warners experiment

    Thanks Donald. I've done the same giving a few days extra polishing, but there have been just a couple that don't even respond to that. Usually it is medium-dark amber glass I have this trouble with. Guess I'll just put those in the polish again a few days longer while looking into getting...

    Before and after Warners experiment

    While admiring my growing group of nicely polished bottles I have gradually become aware that some bottles have this residiual "smokey haze" you mention. What is your final polishing step on these stubborn bottles? Thanks for the help, Barbara

    BEGGS TROPICAL OIL

    Google finds the archives for me...I just typed in Beggs "Tropical Oil". The other references I saw were dated 1902 and 1910, but that doesn't mean the product wasn't around long before then. Barbara

    BEGGS TROPICAL OIL

    Found a newspaper online advertising Beggs tropical Oil here. The ad is at the bottom of the 4th column, stating it will relieve "Salt Rheum or Eczema". Gotta say the lettering on that baby is beautiful! Barbara

    Received my gift from Woody on Friday night, but just getting the chance to post my THANK YOU now. He sent a beautifully whittled aqua pint beer from Norfolk Brewery, Boston, Mass and a jar of homemade jam... yum! I love them both. Hope you enjoy your California gifts too. The wine is a...

    Alhambra Water....Martinez, California

    I normally don't pick up crown top bottles, but this aqua tooled quart really caught my eye at a local shop. Alhambra water is a well know (West Coast only?) company still. Here is the Wiki history I found: "Alhambra Creek is a stream in Contra Costa County, California in Northern...

    Tumbler noise dampening advice please

    Wow...once you get Chosi's link right you go to a beautifully organized and photographed site! The noise problem is diminished. Yesterday we had Lowe's sound boards on the table top with leftover pieces of 3/8" thick specialized automotive foam insulation from our son sandwiched in-between...

    Tumbler noise dampening advice please

    Two of my three kids have (finally) moved out enough for there to be a small bottle room, the problem being that it is upstairs. By simply closing doors we've eliminated the majority of noise EXCEPT for directly below the tumbler...which is over our computer. Do you have any advice for...

    SF Druggist box #3

    RE: Actual Slugplate for Broemmel I was watching that slug plate too; it's design is beautiful, just like the bottle it made! So Jason, I'm intrigued by your button hook collection, so thought of you when this was posted on craigslist. (see below) Also saw a "Triangle Shoe Company Pomona...

    Auburn, California 49er Show/ December

    FYI...I'm not the Barbara hangin' with nhglass. My husband doesn't trust me to go to the bottle shows alone; not sure if it's to keep my spending in line or he's afraid I'll try to run off with the guy with the best glass! I've learned to do all my buying while he's sleeping in the car so he...
