Planned Events for Southeast Bottle Club

We recently changed web host providers to prevent this problem that many people may have seen while trying to view the newsletter: "bandwidth limit exceeded". A newsletter with this many pictures takes a lot of bandwidth over the internet and we had simply outgrown our previous web host provider. Things are working smoothly with our new provider so these problems should be behind us.

The Southeast Bottle Club sponsors an annual show and several other events each year. Here's the list of upcoming events:

Saturday Sep 25, 2004 9am-3pm: Raleigh Fall Bottle Festival outdoors on the lawn at the NC State Fairgrounds. Same weekend as the Southern Ideal Home Show and Liberty Antique Festival. Full details at: www.antiquebottles.com/raleighfestival
Sunday Nov 21, 2004 9am-3pm: the 3rd Annual Greensboro Bottle, Insulator & Collectibles Show & Sale has been scheduled again in Greensboro NC. The later date in November avoids previous conflicts with the Pittsburg PA and Elkton MD shows. Full details at www.antiquebottles.com/greensboro
Saturday April 9, 2005 8:00am-3:00pm: Raleigh Spring Bottle Festival outdoors on the lawn at the NC State Fairgrounds. Full details at: www.antiquebottles.com/raleighfestival/

The club maintains a web page directory where we publish a list of antique shops that help us promote our bottle events by allowing us to place flyers in their shops. This page is located at: www.antiquebottles.com/shops.html
Contact us if your are willing to distribute bottle event flyers in exchange for a free listing on this web page directory.

Lumberton NC June 4-5, 2004

The Robeson Antique Bottle Club held their annual bottle show Fri/Sat June 4/5 at the The Expo and Farmer's Market in Lumberton, NC. Another fine show by the club, but unfortunately the weather did not cooperate Friday with severe thunderstorms throughout the day. The dealer dinner Friday night was scrumptuous as Paul Valenti provided home cooked chicken and rice plus sausage and rice, and Vernon Capps providing homemade pickles (best I've tasted). The weather was better on Saturday, as many fine bottles were bought and sold.

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

Pint strap-sided flask embossed C.B. STEWART / ATLANTA / GA. was sold at the show.

Eric Warren brought in this broken shard of a slug plate whiskey that partially reads OAK SALOON / CHARLOTTE, N.C. but can't make out the name across the top. Anyone seen a whole one?

Burlington NC Swap Meet July 31, 2004

The Southeast Bottle held it's annual swap meet on Saturday July 31 at Granddaddy's Antique Mall in Burlington, NC. Thanks to Tom Kleeburg of Granddaddy's for allowing us to have the swap meet in his mall, which is a great location for this type of event.

The meeting started with some business discussion of the Southeast Bottle Club, and then into the feature presentation on whiskey bottles by David Jackson. Meeting concluded with a raffle drawing which included a cobalt blue pontil BOARDMAN soda and three nice NC bottles. About 6 collectors brought in bottles for sale that were setup on the tables provided. And many nice bottles and jugs were brought in for show & tell.

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

David Jackson gave a very informative presentation on whiskey bottles, including his Casper Whiskey collection.

Featured Collector: Donnie Medlin

Reggie visited Donnie Medlin's house in July and was awed by his impressive display of Pepsi bottles and go-with advertising. Donnie probably has the best antique Pepsi bottle collection in the country. It was overwhelming to try and take it all in, but I had fun trying and Donnie enjoyed showing it.

If anyone has ANY old Pepsi or any other bottles that the Pepsi company made, please feel free to contact Donnie by phone at home (919) 496-1367 or by cell (919) 497-7890, or Email donniepepsinut@msn.com

In a future newsletter we'll feature Donnie's NC whiskey bottle collection.

Two of Donnie's favorties Pepsi bottles: the NC3 with Pepsi=Cola in script covering the bottle (city unknown), and an early ACL throw-away Pepsi.
