I exchanged emails with Bill about a week ago and he said his latest updated book will be available "soon." He did not say how soon, but is supposed to let me know when it's ready.

Bob, did you tell him about you amber Monroe,la ss coke? Would sure like to see that. In the list with a "rare" beside it. By the way, I got mine back from a polishing expedition and it looks 100% better

Mark / Bass Assassin I did not think to tell Bill Porter about the amber straight-sided Ouachita Valley bottles and suspect its probably too late for them to be added to his latest update. Speaking of which, howz about a picture of your polished bottle. (I checked and the thread where we discussed them is locked. However, depending on how the voting ends on December 31st, it could be unlocked soon). Merry Christmas Bob Here's my example ... Amber Ouachita Valley Bottling Works (Pre Biedenharn) Monroe, Louisiana ~ Circa 1904 ?

Mark: Your bottle turned out great - I should have the same thing done to mine. Please tell us more about the process - did you do it yourself or have someone else do it?

No, I sent it off to be polished. Cost was about 30.00 plus shipping. It went through 4 stages of polishing. I'll talk to the gentleman that did this for me and see if I can use his name. He may want to remain anonymous.
