Attended my first bottle show ever today and I was just overwhelmed to say the least, after having been to a million antiques shows and shops only looking for specific things you can avoid the sensory overload, but when you are looking for bottles at a bottle show I now know that your head is going in every direction at once. Just the time it takes to pickup every hutch at a table with over 150 of them to find the word Paterson embossed on a bottle threw me for a loop. I had 3 people I have become friends with thru e-bay selling there and I ended up with 8 bottles but I am now kicking myself because the one table was hutch's that were dug but unwashed was only $5 a bottle and I should have bought the whole lot of Paterson(ones I already own) bottles and resold them on e-bay.
Luckily I have the guys phone # and I'll be calling him tomorrow and making an offer on all unsold bottles. I had one e-bay friend who had 2 very rare bottles set aside for me including a labeled Hinchliffe Beer that I already had without the label, so getting a labeled example is awesome. The big winner of the day is this Amber Blob P. Pfannebecker for $5, I almost fell off my feet when the guy realized he forgot to put it on the table along with the hutch's I bought and just tossed it in the bag for the same price. When the top Paterson collector asked me what I got he I showed him and he told me to go back and kiss that guy because he would have paid over $100 for it because there is so little in color from Paterson. I hope you like them and as always your input is welcome and enjoyed, I feel like going back just to look around again....
