I recently picked up this Riddle. O.K. iron pontil, great shape for a dug bottle. Not sure that it needs to be tumbled.

Great bottle. I mean Fantastic bottle!!! I wouldn't tumble it.
Thanks for the compliments on the bottle and advice.

What a beautiful bottle—didn’t know bottles could be repaired/refurbished; this bottle doesn’t look like it needs any touch ups tho. Love the deep blue coloration & clean lines—very nice!

Very nice! I dug one of those in Galveston, Texas a while back...but mine is in pretty bad condition due to the soil here in Texas!

This Riddle isn't damaged, I just got it recently and wanted to post pictures. It came out the ground in excellent condition. My only question was maybe to tumble it, but everyone said that it looks good just the way it is. I agree.

I don't like a cloudy bottle and am usually one to advocate to tumble those. I wouldn't clean this one. It looks great to me.
