Thanks, Jim.
I have to say I much prefer uncleaned bottles. They have much more character. Too bad I have no places to dig around SF. The neighborhoods are too new, and the old areas of san francsisco are either covered up with cement or a building is on top of them. Wish I could have lived in the 1970s when the developers would let enthusiasts dig prior to putting a building up like the embarcadero 2! I have two or three bottles I bought from a guy who dug this site. The Taylor and co (the first bottle in this thread) was dug in the 70s and was in this man's collection for 30 years.
I'm lucky to have it. It's going to stay original (no cleaning).
coincidentally there is an article in last sunday's chronical...
said archaeologists were finding many artifacts at the site of the new trans-bay terminal here in SF. One of the items found was a Bay City Soda Water cobalt smooth base squat...lol

Nice sodas, Matt. I like 'em all. ~Jim
I completely agree about preferring bottles uncleaned they look like 150+ year old dug bottles should look.
