The Somers Antique Bottle Club holds a show there in Feb each year that is really good (a lot of great CT and MA bottle collectors), but I've never been to this Yankee Polecat one. Would suggest you reach out to Robert and Rose Sokol who run the Somers club to inquire - (860) 745-7688, Email: enfieldrose@aol.com.

Hello to whoever has any bottles marked for: Watkins Glen, NY. I am also always wanting bottles with different mold repair marks, because I spent a lot of years in mold manufacturing, design. Engineering Machinery, Chucking and Fixtures for making mold equipment. I spent 15 years with Thatcher Glass - in their Central Mold Division - and learned a lot about making bottles. RED Mattews

The Yankee Polecat Club has no connection with the Somers Club, so PLEASE don`t give Rose Sokol a call! The Polecats usually have their show in March, so either they are going for two shows or changed the date to late Autumn. It`s always been a good show, with a lot of emphasis on insulators, especially high quality ones. There are also several bottle dealers there too with some nice quality bottles. It`s always been a good show for me when I can go, but we have a Christmas tree farm, so I`ll be selling trees instead. This show is a couple miles north of the Somers show, right on Rt. 5 next to a Dunkin Donuts, very easy to find!
