Hi Brian,
I don't have any before pictures of this Ogden. Only after shots.
It came out of a privy in Pittsburgh and had a lot of fine scratches covering the entire bottle, plus one deep scratch on the neck.
As you can see the deep scratch is small, it didn't have any other damage stemming from it, nor does it penetrate thorugh the glass.
The scratches were so fine and shallow that I knew that I could remove them using various cutting oxides.
However, the one on the neck wouldn't be removed from the neck by just cutting. If I were to have removed it, it would of disrupted the beautiful stretch marks and whittle on the neck. So, here is a case where leaving the scratch is a much better choice than removing it.
The first is the neck shot showing the deep scratch and the second a full profile shot of the bottle.
