Yeah, I must agree to that. That's been a long time since I've seen these bottles on my bench...

Check out the prices...some of these are at least 30 years old. Maybe older.

How I remember those little bottles. Back in the day I was building cars and painted them with the Testors little bottles. Did you know that some of those little paints were radioactivity. I remember that Testors Red, Yellow and maybe Orange would fluores under a blacklight. The paint atoms would be excited under ultraviolet light. Wow Did I just say that. Who knows what those paints were made of

pssst, radiation is everywhere... that´s called natural radioactivity 😉
most likely there are just some fluorescent particles in there...

I know right, My Dad was a Chemical Engineer and filled my head with all kinds of useless facts. Dont know why I remember that one.. I built all of those Monogram Tom Daniel's cars. I would brush paint them with the Testors little bottles paints and under the blacklight they would glow. Real grooveeee man.
