Tumbling Before and After photos

[UncleBruce]

I’ve been tumbling so many bottles I’ve quit taking pictures unless it’s something special. I’ve done a few really rare ones here lately and wanted to share this one

Stupendous job. Those are some tough shapes to tumble.

Been too long since I've posted any recent photos of cleaned beers. I posted these images in several of the FaRcebook groups to promote bottle collecting with this comment: "HISTORIC EMBOSSED BEER BOTTLES need loving too. Etching is sort of like rust on a can. TLC (polishing) brightens them up."
C. CONRAD BUDWEISER pint is a classic. Used 1500 on this one.
HEIM THE KANSAS CITY BREWERIES quart crown. Used 1200 on this one.
GEO. WM. OTTO TANNAHAEUSER BEER pint. 1st used 600 then hit it with 1500.

Blob tops clean up fairly easily it seems how about this candidate?

Not sure I would clean that one. Looks pretty already.
