Tumbling is the best way to clean them well. Those are some really great finds Matthew. Wish I could help with some info.

I agree,tumbling would be the real only way to remove the sickness and also any nicks or dings/scratchs from the bottles.
Value would be MUCh higher if tumbled/cleaned and prices would vary due to location and buyer....

I've never bought or built one, but I hear this guy makes some good ones. Just click the link to check em out. You can also add canisters depending on how much you want to spend. I'm gonna get one eventually. Till then, you can take and rub some olive oil on them and they will look clean for a while. They will also become a dust magnet! LOL Nice Digs! Looks like you were digging 70's and 80's stuff! Chris Capley
