Hi Guy,
Nice flasks.The Union bottle is my cup of tea.I collect Union bottles and would be interested in buying yours or maybe trading.As far as value condition is everything as I am sure you know. I would have had no problem with 800.00 if the bottle was mint. I currently have about 75 Union...
I have been playing around with my tumbler I built but need a few guide lines. Does it hurt to run everything slow? Say 25-30rpm? What is the best amount of water,copper and compound to use? Do I cover the whole bottle? Do you guys clean the inside and outside at the same time or do one then the...
Ok, had a lot answers about the Benders bitters how about a Bender's blood searching Elxir from Pittsburg PA. It is a rect medicine bottle about 10" tall. Any one got one??
Boy that blue smiths is a beauty and looks just like the Benders in shape. Maybe the same company blew both bottles.My last name is Bender and that why I would love to have one.
hey, thanks for answering. Yes I saw one ,it is the one in the photo.It was the one in the Ring collection sold at auction years ago.It is now in a great collection in ohio. It is amber in color. I saw a listing in aqua but no one has ever seen the bottle. There must be more than one out there.
I would love to buy one of these bottles.It is a semi cabin bottle from ohio.I will take any condition at all. If not for sale does anyone have a photo of one? Please help.

Hi Guys,
I am not having alot of luck finding a Schoharie Kilmers yet and I have picked up a few Union flasks off e-bay. I have decided to see how many different colors and sizes of Rumford bottles I can find. Sure they are common but make great window bottles.I am told other than teal they...
Hey everybody I am trying to complete a set of Union Clasp Hands flasks. I am only half way there. Any body got any for sale. If not how about unlisted molds to show me?
Always interested!!
Thanks Rick for the replie. If you only fill the copper half way up the bottle how will it hit the neck of the bottle when it is laying down.I have tried the half way thing before and the necks never get cleaned. Should the copper be going over the top of the bottle as it spins or just up a ways...
Hey guys I have had a tumbler a few years now and have mainly cleaned round bottles and a few square ones. How should I go about cleaning a large rect. shaped bottle? It is about 2 1/2" thick and 4 '" wide 12" tall. I have both a 4" and 6" tube. I guess I will have to use the 6" tube as the...
