Nice seeing you again Bearswede.

Thanks, JG...

Good to see you and your brother, as well...

Nice flask... I bought a Wolfie right off the bat for $20... Then later turned around and sold my O.P. teal one for $350... Now that's quite an exchange...

I'll post some pics when I unpack the camera...

I went to the show yesterday-I couldn't believe how many Saratoga type bottles were there...I went to the Keane show and I thought the prices on mineral waters were up from last fall-I picked up a sharp amber Skilton Foote bottle and a Yeoman's fruit bottle from Jack Stecher-a really nice guy and great to talk with..it was definitely a lot of fun.

I really wish I could have gone - maybe next year- I love the Saratoga bottles! Can't wait to see the pics!

I thought the prices on mineral waters were up from last fall-

Yeah, John... I thought so too... Also, I saw some outragously priced Wolfies... I think I snuck one with that damaged but twistedly crude and hauntingly tinted one I bought...

The show was full of quality glass... Looking forward to next year when I hope to have a display set up centering around semi-cabins with examples of cabins and figural cabins as well...

Here's the Wolfie I bought... The color would show better if the sun were out, goldang it!!!

Here it is after I played with my software... Closer to reality, I think...

I stuck mostly with photographing the exhibits... This exception shows a national TV crew filming a piece for a travel show... Looks like bottle collecting CAN play with the big boys! Good to see there's some real general interest out there... I had fun at this show talking to people about bottles and bottle collecting... Very encouraging...

This was a great exhibit, showing the nitty gritty, the good, the bad, and the ugly of privy digging...
