Ink Bottle Book

For a long time we have wanted to do an ink book for collectors. We finally did. This book has just been finished, and is 276 pages including the index. It has 95% color pictures, with company information, when known, in the first section. Other sections include special inks (idelible, printing, bluing used as ink), error bottles, writing accessories including inkwells and sanders, ephemera, and lastly a section on patents. The book received a good review from collectors at the National Bottle Show in Grand Rapids in August. It is an information book, NOT a price guide. This is a book not only for ink collectors, but for any bottle collector who has an interest in inks.

Price is $ 65 plus $8 shipping by priority mail anywhere in continental US. For more info and orders, contact:

Show Reports

Shupp's Grove Festival July 15-17, 2005

The 4th annual Shupp's Grove Bottle Festival was held in Adamstown PA. Despite the humid weather and occassional shower, the show was well attended with brisk sales reported by many of the 150+ paid dealers who came from all over the Northeast and as far away as California, New Mexico, and Florida. There were some killer bottles available, especially colored historical flasks, figural bitters, and colored umbrella inks. Many of the big name bottle collectors were there, including Barry Hogan, Jim Cheballa, John Pastor (FOHBC president), Jim Hagenbuch (AB&GC editor), Ed Gray, Jim & Jodi Hall, Jeff & Holly Nordsy, Ed Holland, and Rod Walck (BAM editor).

Reggie Lynch setup this year and was impressed by the number of nice southern sodas and fruit jars he was able to purchase. Sleeping in the car Friday night was not the most luxurious of accomodations, but shower facilities were available and plenty of good food, especially the Friday night cook-out. Your show certainly gets an A+ on setup when you can park your car right behind your table.

Below are some pictures from the show. To see all the pictures taken, click here.

Ed and Juanne Herrold made the trip up north and offered some very nice bottles for sale.	Making it happen: congrats to show chairmen Jere Hambleton and Steve Guion for another successful festival.
Where else do you see a tent behind a table loaded with great bottles? That's Larry Marshall's table - he made the trip up from Florida.	Sheldon Fawns showed this rare drape style ink with pontil base in a rare aqua color - usually seen in cobalt blue.
John and Dot Wood made the trip up from Georgia and reported doing very well selling "Yankee bottles".	Some of the dealers pitched and held a cook-out Friday night, complete with tiki torches and shrimp on the barby. That's Jodi Hall helping with grill duties.
Kicking back and selling bottles. What a nice way to enjoy the outdoors weather.	Ware Gates offered some beautiful bottles, flasks and NJ glassware pieces.

Burlington NC Swap Meet July 30, 2005

The Southeast Bottle Club held their summer Swap Meet at Granddaddy's Antique Mall in Burlington NC. About 40 collectors attended, 8 of whom took advantage of the free chance to setup and sell bottles. And quite a few bottles were sold to happy collectors.

The featured speaker was Jerry Roughton, who spoke about his research on NC tokens and showed some very rare examples of NC saloon tokens. Jerry is also working on a book about NC tokens. Jerry previously published a book about NC medicines.

The meeting concluded with the raffle drawing, where Randy Kiger won the Hillsborough NC S-S Coke and Bill Owens won the cobalt BLOUNT SPRINGS soda. Thanks also to Randy for donating some nice NC bottles for our next raffle.

A collector proudly shows his 5 CENTA bottle, the larger and much rarer variant of the 3 CENTA bottle.	David Jackson shows a recent find: the rare Roanoke VA variant of the Casper Whiskey decanter that does not have the handle loop like the Winston NC variant.

Norcross GA Show August 26-27, 2005

Jack Hewitt and friends put on another successful show with about 40 dealer tables and a good crowd, especially on Saturday. There were some good finds made. Reggie Lynch picked up a rare size American Standard Ink that he needed to complete his set, plus a rare Ellington Springs NC mineral water in the half gallon size.

To see all the pictures taken, click here.

Show chairmen John Joiner and Jack Hewitt put on another fine show.	Vic Svendsen shows a rare cobalt blue pyramid-style C. ALFS / CHARLESTON, S.C. pontil soda that he recently dug. This is a bottle he has been hoping to dig for a long time.
Jim Scharnagel had a fine offerring with many nice bottles.	John Wood showed a pair of Like-Me sodas with the unusual slant top. The one on the right is rare prototype with paper label and patent number that the inventor Marvin Weaver tried unsuccessfully to sell to the Coca-Cola company. Label says "With the slanting top for easy drinking" so you don't have to "turn your head backwards". Company was out of Aberdeen, NC.
