Cures & Remedies

Harry, I have not forgotten, just working on getting the pics together, there are a bunch. And it takes awhile to get pics that show the embossing well......Andy

How well I know the challenge of making good pix, Andy.

And now for something completely different . . . a remedy!

Andy . . .
They sound like good bottles. A bottle collector in California has to take precautions against quakes. Maybe you'll feel even better protected when you have archived images of your desirable bottles. Just send the images by PM here on the forum. I'll be happy to try to post some from that long list.

Hello Harry. My daughter posted all the cure pics on myalbum in my profile. They have to be approved and then they will be viewable, I have no idea of what she did but the pics are great.........Andy

And yeah about the California thing with earthquakes, all my bottles are in cases or on window displays with front and back plexiglass covers, with museum paste on the bottoms, which is why I do not show pontils in my pics.........Andy
