Purchase at Saratoga show - 6/4/2011 5:17:53 PM    cookie Posts: 1446 Joined: 2/19/2006 Status: offline Picked up this nice HOLTZERMANN'S BITTERS from George Waddy today. Ran in to a couple of forum members, Jeff Noordsy and Mark{ bomboy]. I heard from quite a few dealers that they were not selling much and I didn't think there were a lot of people there.

For the first time I didn't bother to go, bottle sales are horrible. Good time to buy though! Great bottle cookie! (in reply to cookie) Post #: 2

I think I got some decent deals as well. Next time I'll try to sell a kidney before I go so I can buy some of that top shelf stuff. Swiz (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 4

If so it was nice to meet you and that bird swing in your cornicopia is a killer.  (in reply to dygger60) Post #: 9

RE: Purchase at Saratoga show - 6/5/2011 8:16:46 AM    CazDigger Posts: 584 Joined: 6/26/2005 From: Central NY State Status: offline I had a really good time at the show. I met Swizz and Bomboy, and got to see JPClute again. Thanks for showing me that cool Lammpin, Swizz! I sold very well but only bought one item that I sold later in the show. I thought the quality and numbers of dealers was good, way better than last year when it conflicted with the Conn. show. This used to be my favorite show, but with it now being held on a saturday, and in a smaller venue away from the main drag, I think it has suffered since it was in downtown Saratoga back at the City Center convention hall. I have heard talk that some new blood is planning to help get the show back to its former glory. Lets hope! (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 10

RE: Purchase at Saratoga show - 6/5/2011 8:22:02 AM    CazDigger Posts: 584 Joined: 6/26/2005 From: Central NY State Status: offline I forgot to mention Kungfoofighter who showed up late and made a whirlwind tour of the show. Roy (JPKlute) sold an INCREDIBLE Dexter Loveridges Wahoo Bitters that he dug in a light pink topaz gasoline (insert color here) puce color. Unfortunately it had a small hole in the corner but still sold for a great price. Without the hole I think he could have bought a new truck with what it would have sold for! Sorry I don't have any photos of the show. (in reply to CazDigger) Post #: 11

I will watch for more postings from others.  RED Matthews _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to CazDigger) Post #: 12

RE: Purchase at Saratoga show - 6/5/2011 9:19:19 AM    cookie Posts: 1446 Joined: 2/19/2006 Status: offline Red- George Waddy has always been very helpful to me. When I went to my first show a few years ago he spent a lot of time instructing me about bottles-that was priceless. I enjoy talking with him and he has a nice variety of great glass.

RE: Purchase at Saratoga show - 6/5/2011 1:47:58 PM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline I'll try to get you a short video of my bird swing today or tomorrow. The one dygger60 has it a common bird swing. To see it you have to look down the neck of the bottle and slightly to the side. Its a little more then half way up the flask and goes from the front to the back. Another guy I talked to said that he just cleaned an ink for a guy that has a double bird swing in it. I'd love to see that. Maybe dygger60 can post us a pic of that cornucopia bird swing. some amazing stuff there. Swiz (in reply to cookie) Post #: 14

What a sparkler! George does have some great stuff. Did you see the emerald green 1/2 pint Willington eagle he had? (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 15
