Nice collection! I see one or 2 of these mini bottle shakers every so often, but never seen most of those. My brother has a green, twisted soda bottle with no name on it. I thought it was bubble-up or something, but now I know it's Squirt!

I had a few more of these than I thought. The red Country Clubs are common around here but this white one is a little unusual. Pabst has a real ribbon on it.

Nice bottles. I found a piece of the RC bottle once, just part of the label, had it identified in here. Pretty cool......

Hey glasshopper! I’ve been admiring your post for a while now. I have a good bottle collection going now and I was curious on how you clean gunk out of old bottles. I have some that have this nasty film inside that won’t even come loose when I scrub with a wooden dowel.

Those two Cokes look like loose dirt on the outside that will easily clean off with a soapy scrub with a stiff brush and then maybe #0000 steel wool. It won't hurt the glass at all. Hint: start off getting the outside nice and clean before trying to clean the inside, makes it easier. That first clear bottle with the cap looks like the cloudiness is on the inside. For that, (and all the others) try water and cleanser, or beach sand and scrub all around using a bottle brush. Some cloudiness on bottles (old ones) only tumbling will clear them up. For bottles you may find in creeks with that orange or green "mong" on/in them there are stronger mixes I use. That painted Coke is not very old and is faded so nothing will bring the red color back.

I love your collection and I aspire to have something similar to your set up that you posted in your album pictures! You really have an awesome collection of different assortments. |
