I recently found about 100 old bottles. Some with raised lettering. All with glass stoppers. As far as I can tell they are from the early 1900's and earlier. Some are marked pat. March 25 1879 Whitall-Tatum Co.
My question is how to clean them without breaking/ruining them. And how to get some of the glass stoppers out that are stuck. I have soaked them in warm tap water and then putting cold water on the stopper and that got most of them loose.
My final question is how to aquire a tumbler or how to build one. I am new to the antique bottle world so I would appreciate any feedback!! Thanks In Advance!
