Thanks Cindy. How ya been girl? I get a little nervous on higher end bottles but these Hosp. bottles blown in Pittsburg are very durable if there are no cracks or potstones. I tumbled 13 of the 16 in my collection with no incident but I still get nervous. The ones blown in Baltimore are another story. They are, for the most part, much more delicate than the ones from Pittsburg. They have to be pretty sick before I risk a tumble with them. Hows that puppy that's not a puppy anymore? Kelley

Here's some pics after the tumble as promised. This bottle has a ton of seed bubbles. It is a real looker. All I have done is cut this bottle with 1200 grit silicon for 4 days. I will polish it with aluminum oxide in about a week or so. I'm gonna be gone all next week on an Archaeological survey for Historic Indian sites. Thanks Privydigger, it's a really nice bottle.
