Brown's Botters Tumbled...

[Staunton Dan]

Four days in the tumbler with 1500 grit makes this a much more desireable bottle. Thought that I would share this with you all. What I thought was citrine I am more likely now to call it a light honey amber. Still a stunning color.

Here's another fresh out of the tumbler, a pontiled Lyons Kathairon.

Yeah, I'd agree on honey amber. That pickle looking thing sitting next to the Brown's in the window shot sure looks Citron or Yellow though.

I agree to your agreement on the honey amber. [] The pickle looking food bottle is a little greaner than the picture shows so I'm calling that one yellow green or something like that. Thanks for your input.

Hey Dan,

Obviously, I'm tumblerless. Though there are probably times I wished I had one. I wanted to stick up the "Before" picture.

What a knock out Yellow, I thought, when first I glimpsed this.

You did an outstanding job! Would'ya call that a light tumble? Did'ya use walnut shells and crushed Oreos, or what?

Is it just me and my quirky screen, or is this really yellow amber? I stuck that "amber" on there for form. This bottle just yells, "Yellow" at me. Whatever the palette choice of words, it's a real beauty, Dan. Thanks for the showing.

I think if the bottle pic was taken outside like before the tumble it would appear much more yellow, the indoors pic doean't do it justice IMHO[]

I couldn't live without my homemade tumbler. The bottles that I dig really come out of the ground sickly. I had 2 problems with this bottle. Firstly, it has a weak strike and I didn't want to tumble it too much. I chose 1500 grit and four days of tumbling using copper. The bottle was etched real bad and to take the etching off would have removed more of the embossing, which I didn't want to do. Secondly, I took the untumbled picture outside. The bottle looks yellow in the before picture. It was overcast today, so I took the tumbled picture indoors with artificial lighting. I worked with a photo editing software to get the color in the tumbled picture as close to the original bottle as possible. I come up with honey amber. Like you've said, whatever the color, it's a real beauty.
