Hey Tony. I am adding my finds to your post. Here's my first one. It is a spectacular error bottle. It is an H & M Lochen hutch. The company was located in West Bend, WIS but the glassmaker (RGCo) accidentally embossed the bottles West Bend, IND. The author of the main soda water guide book (Roger Peters) believes that the glassmaker confused West Bend, WIS with South Bend, IND - hence the error.

The bottle is not super rare (in fact I already have one) but this thing is a pristine upgrade. It couldn't have been any minty-er if it had been found on a hotel pillow.

Here's the bulk of the cash I had with me. The bottle at left is a Chas. Klett & Co. I had never seen one before I bought it. At right, is a JAE American Bottling Works considered very rare. Both are top notch rare bottles. I am very excited to have picked up bottles of that calibre at the show.

Lastly, I picked up a loop seal hex based Graf in aqua. I have found many of these (one of my finds is at right) but never loop seal or aqua. Plus, the price was really great. Thanks, Scott for selling it to me!
