Golden Gate Bottle show photos

Hey All,
For those of you interested...there's still time to go to the show on Saturday 9-3pm

I took a couple of photos of some of the best bottles that I saw there today.

The first shot's lineup would break the bank and then some!

Enjoy some of the Best of the West,

Doug

I snagged a hammer whittled fifth from the same shelf that you took the whiskey photo of, but was long gone by 3:30, Sold a couple goodies, too.

Mike,
I looked for you, but Mike Henness said you were long gone just like you said.

Catch you next time,

Doug

Hey Doug,

The friends I went to the show with had to be home by 5:30. We got there before noon and cruised the aisles for 3+ Hrs. Plenty enough time for me to do my thing.
The bottle that I got is the majorly whittled, olivish, "Bird" Cutter in the middle. I sold a nice E. Martin shoulder crown fifth and a rare Davisville pharmacy. As expected, it was a nice show with something for everyone.

We tried to get up there on Friday afternoon, but there was this "680 Friday afternoon traffic syndrome" that kept us from making it.
However the next morning we got to the show at 8.30am and spent a good two hours scanning the tables for local splits, druggists, and perfumes...not many San Francisco druggist bottles left (or perhaps not many were brought to the show) although I did score one "unlisted" SF pharmacy.

If you were in Vallejo looking for Fresno or Sacramento druggists you'd have scored big-time. If you were looking to add some rare San Francisco hutches to your collection this was the place if your pockets are deep. Even many common hutches were $50 and up. Didn't understand the prices on Mokelumne Hill hutches -- same bottle/similar condition could be had for anywhere from $45 all the way up to $135...go figure!

On the Oakland front I was much luckier where at Ken Salazar's table I managed to find all sorts of goodies, some unlisted. Passed on the
$200 32oz. G. Leipnitz & Co, however.

Two other items of note that came home with me -- an A. Shilling & Co. San Francisco sample bottle that I'd never seen before (same shape as the J.A. Folger & Co. ones -- see photo), and an "unlisted" Oakland citrate in pretty nice condition for $40 was my most expensive bottle of the day.

Posting pictures later on the "New to the Collection" section.

Mike: That "Bird" Cutter is sweet! Thanks for showing it!

Jason: Yea, I noticed that too about the hutches, the prices were all over the place. There was a guy there on Friday selling most of all his hutches for $12-15.00.....but I was saving my money for the all of the medicines that I picked up. Sounds like you scored some good ones too.

Tim(Wilkie): It was great finally meeting you and hanging out.
Sloughduck: Great meeting you too.

Nice Show!

I sold a few bottles at the show. One of 'em was this shoulder crown E. Martin fifth.

This little pharmacy went, too. Hated to see it go, but I can't keep all of 'em.
