There were many glass houses in Jersey but they had odd rules.
As a glassblower you werent allowed to gather your glass , a low paid middle eastern or indian gentleman was required to do it for you. These arcane glass house rules shape many aspects of jersey culture even today.

lets think of some other way to destroy the bottle market


Use yourself as the sole model for all potential future bottle collectors?

Hey Jim, how many early glasshouses were in New Jersey........Inquiring minds want to know
Steve would be the best person to answer that, but I imagine someone will think the answer is lame....LOL

I would think it would go along with changing anything from its original state and i'd say the persons preference.

Such as buying a truck and jacking it up and putting big mud tires on it - reversible if you wanted to

Painting your house a different color - reversible if you wanted to

Having a coin slabbed and graded - reversible if you wanted to

Getting married - reversible if you wanted to

Coating a bottle - reversible if you wanted to

It's all in what you like or decide to do [8D]
