Good Ole' Bottles        

Open bubble was protected during machine cleaning.

The doctor cleaned up beautifully, inside & out.

After cleaning, the Carter's shows off its brilliant color.

A light cleaning on the Harrison's brings out the beautiful crudeness obtained during the glass making process. 

Pontils are completely protected whenever the bottle is being machine cleaned on the outside.

 Multiple inspections and careful tumbling methods kept this bubble intact.

This little bottle is relatively rare.  A group of 8 dug bottles were cleaned for  Bay Bottles in Rhode Island.  After cleaning, each one showed a multitude of micro-bubbles and beautiful swirls in the glass.

After

This bottle holds the record for the smallest flask I've ever cleaned.  Dug by the owner, it shows extreme leaching damage causing roughness in the glass along with a heavy coating of white stain inside and out.  Even though small in size, this little jewel took nearly 2-weeks to complete.  Hand cleaning was used for several hours on the 1/2 " wide sides where machine cleaning was not effective.

Photos do not due justice to the beauty of this deep purple whiskey.  Cleaned up very quickly and now resides on the customers fireplace mantel (shown below).
