Hey Ron ,
Thanks for sharing the pics !
Looks like it was great Show , and you came away with a nice Wolfie's ! Did you see any good Drake's at the Show ?

Ron-I picked up a copy of Tucker's book about a year ago-it's got all the info on just about every SARATOGA TYPE mineral bottle-availability ,etc. I consider myself a fruit jar collector but I do have about 10 mineral bottles- and this book is to Saratoga Type collectors like the Red Book is to fruit jar collectors-it's great-if you want to contact Mr. Tucker directly to order a book let me know-I've got his e-mail - John

Thanks, Brian...

Actually, I didn't notice too many Drake's... The Saratogas were, of couse, plentiful...

Really, the most interesting Drake's seem to be found on ebay these days...

I still see them at Shows .......but a lot of the good pieces exchange hands as soon as they come out of the box , or before the public or dealers ever see them.
Sounds like it was a great Show ..... how many tables/dealers were at the Show ?

Hi Brian...

I believe there were 115 tables, out of 145 that were anticipated...Down 30...

Ron-Did you hear any feedback from dealers-buyers-was the show a success ? John

was the show a success ? John

Hey, John...

I didn't hear the final word on the show, but my impression was that, while there was a lot of quality available, not much ended up changing hands... But this is just from my limited view from one small corner of the room...
