    That is a very nice bottle DD.... tell me, do you clean those up? Or is the value better dirty? I really know nothing about bottles... Thanks, Cheers, RickO
  • i only cleaned the outside of this one. i need a good bottle brush for the inside.

    Nice bottle, too bad there wasn't any booze left inside image
  • That's a really cool bottle !!

    Regarding cleaning the interior... Just pour some warm vineager in it & add some dry rice, then swish it around...
  • Nice bottle! Do you ever find any old Coca-Cola bottles? By old, I mean the straight-sided bottles produced before 1916.

  • I was told that cleaning the bottle is not always good. When they lay on the ground they get a certain toning going on in the bottle that collectors do not want removed. Nice bottle, I found some really nice bottles while working construction. Three i found were parlet and parlet company annapolis maryland indian rock ginger ale bottles. They look like bowling pins and i've had someone offer me $100.00 a peice for them. I'll have to dig them out and post some pics. does anyone else have any they have found?
