Today I got my Antique Trader e-newsletter. So great that they send the articles to me (free). If you haven't signed up yet, you're missing out on a nice antiquing-news-treat.
One of the articles was a piece that is about promoting the bottle collecting hobby. It's just a quick overview, but interesting, with some great pix, like the bottle at left.
Here's an excerpt:
What's New With Antique Bottle Collecting - by Michael Polak
"There are over 500 bottle and glass clubs across the United States and Canada, averaging 25 to 30 active members, with numerous international clubs in Australia, England, China, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, and the Netherlands, to name a few. There are also approximately 15 to 20 antique bottle shows every month sponsored by various bottle clubs. "
Speaking of bottle clubs, I just found out our club's show tables are SOLD OUT!
Hope to see you there -- please be sure to look for me, and to say HI!
2008 Findlay Antique Bottle Club FAB-Club BOTTLE SHOW and SALE -- Sunday October 19th at 9am
PS-- for Lima area readers-- the Lions Antique Show has been cancelled... I will miss seeing all my friends. I hope they will hold the February show.
My name is Marianne, and I am a collecting addict! And I don't want to be cured. I love everything about antiquing, collecting, and selling. I'm a born-and-raised California Girl, which changed when, after visiting hubby's family back here in Ohio, we got hooked on antiques.
