I have been collecting bottles for a few years and just starting looking into antique/collectors stores to add to my collection. Today, I noticed a lot of bottles have their embossed images/lettering painted over in white. Is this commonly done? If it is seen in a store, was it more likely that the owner painstakingly hand painted over all the letters for their own collection, or was it done for the buyer to see the inscription? Personally, I prefer bottles non-painted, so I am confused as to why this is done.
Also, would you recommend removing the paint with paint thinner?
