Hey MP thanks for the bottles. I got them today and all (but one) made it intact. The lighter colored Bluing bottle was smashed (Stupid Post Office) but the others are AWESOME. I am going to package some up for you this coming week. I will surprise you.

Try a freeware program called "Irfanview" just google it and it is free. Small program also.

At work we use a paper preservative that is acid free to cover our labels on the bottles we find. It is available at most office supply stores but I cant remember what it is called.

I have a Citrate of Magnesia. I know this bottle is usually clear and machine made (at least the ones I have dug in the past) and not worth more than a buck or two.
I have this one though and have never seen it so crude and or this color. Anyone have info on worth??? Scarcity?
