All you bottle nuts from the North East should try and make it this weekend to the Little Rhody Bottle Show... Details below... Jeff & Holly Noordsy and the Hecklers will be there... My table is #43
By the remarks heard around the room, this show was a success... People are getting encouraged again about the bottle show circuit, and about the health of the hobby...
I managed to make a few sales, the best of which was a nice red-amber Westford Sheath-of-Wheat flask (see below)... And, I only spent $30 on the nice Cleavenger repro (also below)...
Hope to see a bunch of you N.East members at upcoming shows in April: New England Antique Bottle Club on the 3rd and Knotty Pine on the 10th, both in New Hampshire...
Also at the show I had a chat with Norm Heckler about the trial with the "suspect" antique bottles here in the NE... He was called as an expert witness, and he said the opposing counsel kept objecting to his testemony and he was not allowed to say what needed to be said in order for the jury to make a reasonable decision in the case...
