Thanks Mark. I was wondering how to clean them without screwing them up. Undiluted white vinegar? Will it be ok to soak them for a long time? Any limits on that? I think most will need a gently bead blasting on the inside to remove the corrosion around the primer hole but maybe not. They're pretty clean on the outside and could be used as is. I think I have a jug of white V in the basement as part of my pickling supplies.

Many of them have a coloration line down from the mouth and am wondering if that's an annealing line?
