For the collectors this is what heaven looks like

Wow Cory. What a nice haul. Tell us the story behind your find. Were the original owners diggers or just collectors? How did you hear about it, negotiate the sale, etc. Dig you have to rent a storage locker just for this lot or is your garage busting a seam? Digging through all those is like Christmas all year! Good job/have fun...Ron

Here is the story on the load this is one of the best collectors in the south his name was Charles Mclemore he was a great collector, digger, diver, and buyer. He had an amazing eye for great items and also owned his own bottle shop for a period of time called twin city glass. He traveled the world building his collection and items for his shop. His shop closed in the 90s and everything was put into the 2 warehouses that he had and it was stacked to the top as you can see in the pictures. We had bought items a few years before we made this massive purchase and would like to say his family are some great people who we got to know very well. He collected great items through out his life and we are very greatful for the chance for the opportunity that me and my dad were able to purchase the items. Mr Mclemore was involved in many clubs and orginizations throughout the south and will be missed. That is the story behind the man who collected these great items that we purchased from Mr Mclemore and his family. That is his story and the history that he reclamed and brought back to light.
