Jim Frustieri and I talked for a little while about insulators.

Bought a couple things from Glen Mansberger III. Glen's a local Harford County, MD boy I first met when our daughters were in girl scouts together.

Besides bottles, I bought some new brushes off the Jar Doctor and bought an Art Deco soda book. Man I'd like to have one of his tumblers......

Lot's of stuff goes on at Bottle shows, sometimes even picks of the spoils for busy diggers!

It sucks that this one turned out blurry - the infamous Philly boys, the Ben Franklin diggers! Nice meeting ya Matt and George, hopefully I'll get a better picture next time guys!

Here's what I got at the show. I went for the local stuff. Nothing killer, I haven't matured yet, but good deals all. More on them tomorrow as I gotta go back to bed!

Beer? note backwards N.

One of the pics had some big bottles in it. Nice!

What no opinions at all on this one? I know its dirty but maybe you just don't want to tell me it's a mexican reproduction! Four piece mold:

It's made by Pittsburgh's Cunningham & Ihmsen. Some great info here:
