[;)] Its a term Western or S.F.glassworks bottle collectors use to describe the rather unique bright shiny aqua glass that typifies early S.F Glassworks bottles........

I wonder if maybe that's why a lot of our Hawaii bottles are pretty clean too? We got the PHW,PGW,PCGW on the base.
Is that Pacific Glass Works?

They seem to have a lot of unique terms for glass. Sort of like the Hawiians with ocean waves or the Sami people with words for snow. Might be a good anthropology project for someone[;)]

Years ago a friend and I put together a glossary of western bottle digger terminology. A unique "language" used by us who dig in CA, NV, OR, and WA. I'll see if one can be dug out of the "archives", in other words located somewhere in this place.

Got in touch with a man that has done a lot of research on HHH. Thought you would enjoy the beautiful pictures he sent me. I would love to find some of those colored ones one day.
