OK, Living in Michigan I'm not familiar with those.
Could have been white shoe polish, though I can't say for certain that Ace produced white shoe polish. What you describe as a white chalky iridescence is more likely a scale produced by the chemical decomposition of the glass on the interior of the bottle due to environmental effects, also known as glass sickness. It often appears as a white or iridescent substance that flakes off the surface of the glass.So did 'Ace of Spades' also make white polish? I've got one that's a lil different design, but with the spade symbol, however, inside the bottle, there's a white, chalky, almost iridescent (when looking through the glass) substance that I can't remove
