I'm really wondering if it's worth the hour and 15 minute drive to this show for a guy who collects Paterson New Jersey bottles ??????? I am awake and ready to go but I'm thinking my chances of seeing glass from my area is very limited, what to do, what to do ?????

Go... The infamous "Buffalo Bill" will be there.
I would be there to but we are opening up a pit.[

I have no idea who Buffalo Bill is Rick, is he someone who might have what I am looking for?
Thanx,
Jim

Bill runs the show at B.H. I don't know if he would have any thing for you but the show is a good one I would check it out if your day is free.Like I said I was going to go but we are digging a pit today,hopefully a UN dug one lol.

I wouldnt think twice about driving an hour to that show. Its like 2 1/2 hours from here.

I just returned from the show and yes it was worth going to.
There was a large assortment of quality bottles for sale.
Also there were a lot great deals. I was impressed with the
distance some of the dealers traveled to set up.
The trip was about 80 miles from my home, but after being there
today I would not think twice about taking the trip even if it was a farther distance from my home. It's worth it.

Hi Potstone, I'm happy to hear that you got some stuff you wanted, my only reservation was since I only collect bottles from Paterson NJ could I expect to even see them at that show, not the quality or quantity of good bottles. I had no doubt those who collect great glass would get it at the show, maybe I missed out on some good Paterson stuff, but now I hope not.

Hi Jim,
I wish I could say for sure that there was Paterson NJ bottles
but can't. I can only say that there were dealers from other
states there and I don't know what all was in their inventory.
I basically was focused in early free blown bottles and
when I get that way I kind of get tunnel vision. I have been
trying to break that habit because I start over looking a lot
of good bottles and deals.

On the way home we stopped at a yard sale. I got some nice silver & a gold religious medals and a silver dollar made into a necklace. When I got home on the back of the gold one it read
St Boniface Church, Patterson, N.J. made in W. GERMANY probably from the 40-50s era
is this church still in Patterson?

St. Boniface Church was closed in June, 1976, it was a German Church so the marking makes sense... alot of medals came out of Paterson mainly from the Saint Anthony's Guild, they also did alot of books and prints as well.
