I have a few photos I would like to share of some recent digs I ran through the tumbler. I took before and after photos. Being able to properly clean a good bottle DOES make all the difference in my opinion. Let me know what you think...



Warner's before

Here is a scarce local druggist (blown screw top ground top) in emerald green. I tumbled the one on the top in photo.

Puts a new meaning to the word restoration...at least for me. I have owned a tumbler now for 7 years and I am still amazed at the results when you properly tumble a dug bottle.
