LOVE~ Rocky that pic was beautiful! Joe was those really glass door nobs? Will they turn? Love that idea~ Saw a show this week where they use the nobs on larges jars on the lids as handles. [8D]

Always an interesting topic....Star, yes....door knobs or any glass made with maganese as a decolorizer will purple in the sun.

Nice bottles Tony!

I've seen many a rare medicine/soda bottle ruined from nuking. I think natural coloring is nice though, and greatly enhances common bottles.

Here's an old picture of some of my first sun colored bottles

Here's a SC dispensary bottle I found lying on the ground near a creek north of Columbia. I think the color is awesome.
