Ok, I can wait. Looks like some great bottles there. I've had a heck of a time finding one of those hobble skirt K. B. Co.s without some damage. I have one now in great shape aside from a tiny crack.

Egg on my face maybe??? After writing about how I loved the amethyst tint to the King Cola bottle, I started reading about people "nuking" bottles. I actually went to dis-liking the tint to the bottle...
Am I making too much of this?? Dunno.....But.... it is what it is.
Guess it goes to show my ignorance and inexperience with bottle collecting.

Don't worry, yours looks like natural tint that some of these bottles get when they have been exposed to sunlight for a very long time. You found it on top of the ground, which would mean it has gotten quite a lot of sun over the years.

When people nuke bottles they are either dark purple or various shades of brown.
