Dear Ron, Brian, bearswede, kastoo, et al.
Since I joined your forum yesterday and got such great response, I did a little research too. My impression is they made black bottles back then to protect the whiskey from the light. It is as black as black can be. No other color. All these years I thought it was black from radiation. Maybe I was wrong. It's a pint size.
When my dad found it, it must have been lying on the ground. He never would have gone digging for it. That's why we thought the sun turned it black.
I'm in California. Are there any reputable repair people out here (or anywhere I guess) from whom I could get an estimate?
You guys are a real treasure. I appreciate all the interest and great information.
Best regards,
Susan
