Today's bottle show buys

[sandchip]

You did good, especially if it totaled under 200 bucks. Great looking bottles, all of 'em.

Looks like you scored some nice bottles. I was planning to go but my back has been giving me a lot of grief lately, to long a drive for me.

Steve, it was kinda slow. Actually, the little flask has been long promised to me and was delivered today. The berry and Lyon's were just lucky scores.
Ask Stevie B. about the goings on. If I had wanted to spend money on great bottles that aren't in my "realm" I would have gone home flat broke. Lucky for me there were no Hotaling bottles that I don't already have.

Well there is always Downieville and I hope to make it to the bottle camp this year.

Don't forget the BIG RENO EXPO in July, but that's after Bottle Camp.

O.K. ? What's "Bottle Camp"?

Yeah, what's Bottle Camp? What are the coordinates?

I guess you could say it is an unofficial bottle show. A northern California collector/digger puts on a BBQ. It is a beautiful piece of property surrounded by vineyards with room to camp out if you want. Everyone brings bottles for show and tell and some selling and buying goes on. Lots of fun.

Sounds like an excellent time!

Thanks Steve,

Sounds like a fun deal. Are there digging outings? Commemoratives?

From.

O.K. What us insulator collectors and some bottle collectors call a "Tail Gater" only "Far Out" as John Denver used to say.
