Coke Hutchinson - repair or replace?

I believe everything.. here's one way: YOUTUBE

you might be on to something. If I do try it, I will post some pics. I'm guessing with a broken top it has no real collector value so what could it hurt, right?

What about the clay jug? All I know about it is that Douglass Co. became Gladding & MacBeam.

could you not flame the edge? Or is that a BIG No-No on old glass with air bubbles?

the air bubbles arent an issue, the problem is you would introduce thermal stresses that would probably break the bottle as it cooled unless it was put in a glass kiln and allowed to cool slowly and evenly. You can do it with certain types of glass like pyrex but not likely that coke.
