Basic bottle cleaning

[blobbottlebob]

No. You pretty much got it right Writ. On the outside, I usually just scrub with a scotch bright pad or a toothbrush. It's always the inside stains that have been harder to deal with (for me at least). And this is how I do it. If you have great ideas for getting off stubborn stains from the outside - feel free to post 'em (and I'll give them a try).

Do you have any coca cola bottles for sale or trade? I just joined this antique bottle forum yesterday and am looking for bottles/collectors to buy from or trade with.
I was wondering if you might be able to help me locate other coca cola bottle collectors. I live in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and am trying to collect
all of the bottles (6, 6 1/2, Pat D, Dec 25 1923, Nov 16, 1915, Amber, and Aqua) for the 48 cities that produced them in Tennessee. I have most of the bottles, the easier
ones, and now I am down to around 50 of the more harder to find bottles. I have found out that the best way to get these rare ones is to trade with other collectors. I know
that many collectors don't sell their duplicates but keep them to trade to other collector. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please find below the Tennessee bottles I need.

Thanks,
Ronnie Jackson

Hey Ronnie,
I'm not sure that you posted this in the right place, but I suppose it doesn't matter much if people still see it. You might want to try a new posting if you don't get any feedback in its own thread with a title like 'tennesee cokes wanted' or the like.

Well. At least his Tennessee cokes will be nice and clean (if he follows along with the rest of this post).

Thank you for the information. I have inherited a bottle collection and they are all very dirty inside, one still has massive amounts of dirt inside....your advice will be very helpful when I get up the nerve to clean them!

 

[blobbottlebob]

You're certainly very welcome Cindys. Best of luck with that project. What I usually do is clean them as I go - kind of. So, if I am going to sell one or show it off, I'll give it a good cleaning. Until then, many remain a bit dirty in the boxes.

I would just love to display mine, I think I've caught the bottle bug, now I just have to learn EVERYTHING!!!!
