Lewes Delaware Show - 9/10/2008 3:12:07 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline My bud Jerry and I went tent camping at Cape Henlopen Delaware this last weekend during Tropical Storm Hannah.  We have been camping there the first weekend after labor day for 10 plus years and that wasn't going to stop this year come hell or high water!  There's always a powwow that weekend and the Delmarva bottle show.  Here's a poor picture of the show which takes place in the Lewes High School on Sundays.

RE: Lewes Delaware Show - 9/10/2008 3:16:58 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1693 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline There were lots of milks there and some of the Lewes one's are pretty pricy.  I keep looking for one in the woods but so far have only come up with one from Beaford and one from Milsboro the home of the powwow.  Here's the only bottle I bought at the show for $10.  Got it because of the unusual style and although I've dug many SCA milk shards I havent got a whole one yet.  Even though its a pint it's as tall as a normal quart.  I believe this one dates to 1911.

RE: Lewes Delaware Show - 9/12/2008 4:35:12 PM    kanudigit?   Posts: 223 Joined: 5/14/2008 Status: offline Seaglass is what got me started digging bottles. A buddy knew I had tons of seaglass and pottery and asked if'd I'd ever go bottle digging. We went that day during lunch in our Navy khaki uniforms and scoped out our first dump, got all dirty and had to go back to work! _____________________________ A bottle in front of me is like a frontal lobotomy...

Love depression glass cuz of the colors and designs.. SCA is my favorite tumbled glass. (in reply to kanudigit?) Post #: 9
