I posted about this before, but that was when I first got this bottle in the new to collection section. Since i'm not so busy, I'll repost this in the Cleaning section. I got this bottle that was found underground in a river (i didn't find it). The glass is EXTREMELY foggy. There is also a lot of brown stains all over the bottle. This an uncommon Chicago bottling company. Is there a way, without tumbling, to cure this bottle of its foggyness and stains. I would really like it to look nice- it's one of my favorite bottles. Thanks for all your help.
It looks like some of it was sticking out of the bottom which makes it's not so foggy in one section.
The embossing is also almost unreadable unless it has backlight. I don't know if it's because it's worn down (which I think is the problem) or the fog. Do YOU think I should highlight it and if I should, what do I use? Blackglass suggested acrylic paint, but wasn't too sure about it. Again, thanks for any feedback. Pic of embossing.
