verdict: " To fetch a good price it needs to be professionally cleaned and tumbled"......Now, ugggh I am too nervous to get it pro cleaned.

Just read druggistnuts huge tumble thread about the green flask. I am terrified that tumbling would bust the massive amount of seed bubbles and bubbles. Is there a good polish I can use myself which would not cut.

I have a rather scarace jar that I dug years ago and it was very sick (unlike yours). Now I tumble my own bottles but I didn't have the setup to accomodate a jar of this size so I contacted Wayne Lowery aka "The Jar Doctor" to do this job. It took a long time as he is a very busy man in this field but if I was going to trust a rare one for a tumble, he would be the man. I believe he can even use plastic pellets instead of copper to lessen the risk, but it takes 3 times as long. You might give him a call and see what he says. He's very easy to deal with. Don't have his contact info handy, but if you Google The Jar Doctor, it should come up. Hope this helps, Smoke

PS. Mighty fine jar you got.[]

I've been quite busy. So my wife contacted the DOC. He accepted the cleaning. I am very excited to see this beauty when it comes back. So I took a bunch of pics of the bubbles for "before" pics. Thanks for the advice and info from you all. I will keep this thread updated.
