Ed and Mark Runyon's Cape May County Bottle Collectors
shows what can be achieved by specializing in a local area. Cape May County
is the southern most county in New Jersey and what Ed and Mark don't know
about old bottles from there isn't worth knowing! There is also much here
for non-local collectors as well, including a comprehensive and regularly
updated links page. |
