Is there anywhere I can display my bottles? - 2/28/2004 9:48:52 PM    bottle_girl   Posts: 35 Joined: 12/1/2003 Status: offline Hi everyone. I was wondering, what kind of places are there in which a collector can display their collection for the public? Right now, my collect is in my room in various medicine cabinets and shelves. The only local place that offered to display my bottles was a historical museum, but you have to "donate" the piece to them. You get your name put with it, but you are polietly expected not to ask for it back. I don't want to part with my best ones, but I'd love for others to view them, like in a museum. Any ideas?

I don't understand why a local historical society or museum wouldn't let you do a display without donating. I mean, why couldn't they just do a temporary display of your bottles, that kinda sucks. Good luck and I would try the library if you haven't already. kaw (in reply to bottle_girl) Post #: 2

We have a brand new one that is quite big, and it just so happens to have six huge display cases. I will ask them; they are extremely into geneaology and stuff, so maybe they'd like some historical artifacts too. Thanx for the idea. (in reply to bottle_girl) Post #: 3

Maybe in the history dept. or a history class or something? Just a thought, Kelley (in reply to bottle_girl) Post #: 4

I'd be afraid for their safety. -Bottle Girl (in reply to bottle_girl) Post #: 5

Ours also has a display case where they like to exhibit local people's collections for a month at a time. Print up cards identifying your bottles, perhaps provide a short history of bottle making, etc. It should be a lot of fun, and maybe you could get credit for it in school! _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to bottle_girl) Post #: 6
