Old Bottles in New Orleans

Thanks for the info. I'll put that on my calendar. My bottles are looking better every day. Just letting them sit with that good ole Mississippi water in them helped a lot.

Old Bottles in New Orleans

Maybe all of you should write a book then, LOL Yes, please let me know about the show. Maybe I will have them all cleaned by then. I have been having better success putting "The Works" inside and letting it sit. It's Hydrocloric Acid. Believe me, I perform this feat outside with the hose...

Old Bottles in New Orleans

I'm not sure what I have a hold of. There seems to be some pharmacy type bottles. The big jug with the lettering is missing the handle. I do have a coke bottle that is embossed with "bottled in 1915" that I just noticed. I don't notice any printing on the square amber bottle. I really don't...

Old Bottles in New Orleans

Hopefully, I have improved on my picture taking. I took the advise here and tried photos outside. This is an example of the many different bottles I have. This one is green. The seam does not go all the way up to the rim. The embossed says: "Kilmer's Swamp Root Kidney, Liver and Bladder...

Do they have to have embossing to be worth anything? I'm still trying to clean them a few at a time which is a task. Here is an example. This one is about 6 inches tall and please excuse the dirty appearance. I can't figure out how to get the top off to clean the inside. Any thoughts...
