    Message For Bottle tumbler

    Rick, I tumbled the bottle with the epoxied top and it came out alright. However, there was a hole in the neck just below the blob top that had been epoxied and I didn't notice it. As you said, the tumbling took out the epoxy and exposed the hole and I think a few more hours would have been...

    Civil War Period Bottles and Jars

    We have a genius amongst us! (Not Norm Miller) I just purchased (Pontiled) Mike Russell's book, The Collector's Guide To Civil War Period Bottles and Jars. This book is loaded with info and useful tips for Civil War collectors. Best of all it's easy on the wallet at $20.00. Kudos Mike!

    Edwardian-Victorian??

    I was wondering if one of our British members could tell me the difference or what years separate Edwardian and Victorian. Shamefully, being of Engish ancestry, I don't keep up with the Royalty. As you know, some of us parted on bad terms some years back.

    Broken Glass

    I saw this subject awhile back and should have paid attention to it. Maybe some of you won't mind refreshing my memory. Is there any use for old broken bottles and shards, or is it just so much trash. I'm talking about pre-1900 glass. Thanks.

    Irradiating Bottles

    I'm sure the subject has been brought up before, but what are some thoughts on this un-natural process? I've read articles where people thought that anyone involved in this is a criminal. Others feel it's no big deal.

    Old Lumber Camp Dig

    This past hunting season I came across an old 1870's-`1880's lumber camp. There are many large trees now grown up and numerous saplings all around. I found an old black glass case gin bottle and broken bottles all in one area. How do I dig in this mess? It's hard to probe because of all the...

    I need help! I have a number of privy dug bottles that I have cleaned, soaked in acid, and even Listerine, but when they dry they look as though they are frosted or glazed. They look great when wet. Is tumbling my only recourse? Thanks. [:(]

    Color

    I'm pretty new at this, so I thought I'd ask for some help. I know that some old clear bottles will turn to a purple color for various reasons. What I would like to know is if it is possible for someone to enhance this process or duplicate it by chemical or other means? The reason I ask is that...
