Hillsville VA Festival September 2-5, 2005

The 38th annual Hillsville Antique Festival had a pretty good turn out despite the record high gas prices at the time, but you could tell the gas crunch affected this year's crowd size. At least the weather cooperated this year.

As usual, several bottle dealers were setup including Bill Wrenn, John and Dot Wood, Bill Owen, Steve Pfaff, Richard Flynt, and Mike Babera.

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

Bill Owen and Richard Flynt show off Richard's neat Cheerwine sign that was for sale at the festival.
Bill Wrenn offered this quart size blob top bottle embossed RIVERMONT / CARBONATED / SPRING WATER / A / NATURAL / CARBONATED SPRING WATER / WEST DURHAM, N.C.

Raleigh NC Bottle Festival September 24, 2005

The annual Raleigh NC Bottle Fall Festival was held outdoors on the NC State Fairgrounds. Sponsored by the Southeast Bottle Club, the event had the same number of dealer tables (15) as last year. It's just hard getting dealers to setup bottles outside. But for those dealers that brought bottles and flea market type items, that found a strong buying crowd. Donnie Medlin reported buying some "killer bottles", as did Scott Berry and many others.

This year the club provided a courtesy table for guests to lounge at and a cooler of drinks for the dealer. For lunch, Reggie's wife Linda delivered hamburgers from Char Grill (the best burgers in Raleigh). The weather cooperated wonderfully, with overcast skies, temperatures in the low 80s, a light breeze, and not a drop of rain.

Responding to the newspaper ad for free appraisals, quite a few bottles were brought in including a nice Indian Queen Bitters and a 1/2 pint Louisburg NC Dispensary flask. The number of flea market dealers was down this year - maybe due to the spiking gas prices? But there was a good stream of buyers throughout the day. Our bottle dealers reported good to excellent sales. Reggie sold all 8 of his dealer box lots, plus a lot of other nice individual bottles. Sure helps make room around your house when you unload those box lots. My kids were happy to get my overflow boxes out of their play room.

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

Donnie Medlin showed this recent find: a strap-sided flask embossed R.P. CORRELL / FINE LIQUORS / GREENSBORO, N.C.

Jake Hudson of Greensboro showing bottles to a buyer.
While the D.R. HUFFINES / GREENSBORO, N.C. crown top soda is seen, this is the only known example of a D.R. HUFFINES from FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.. Since the Fayetteville example is an earlier blob top, we might assume that Huffines started in Fayetteville then moved to Greensboro. This example was dug by Jimmy Caudill, who sold it at the festival to a happy Scott Berry.

Richmond VA Bottle Show October 1, 2005

2005 may be remembered for its hurricanes, but the weather was perfect in Richmond on the day of the 34th annual bottle show. There were 46 dealers at 70 tables ready to sell and trade their wares. Attendance was steady almost all day, with 20 early buyers and 127 regular admissions. A number of children happily picked up their free bottles and bags of toys and other goodies.

There were 3 displays for the public to enjoy: Bottle Books by Rick Burchfield (1st Place and Most Educational), Taka-Kola by Dave Tyree (2nd place and People's Choice), and Paper Weights by Lubby Croker (3rd place).

One of the things that makes the Richmond show stand out is the treatment of the dealers. Dealers are provided pizzas at the setup supper on Friday night. Club volunteers help carry boxes from the car to the table for setup and back again after the show, which is especially helpful for the elderly dealers. Coffee, orange juice and Krispie-Kreme donuts are provided during the Sat morning setup. There are prize drawings for the dealers only, and goodie bags containing snacks as well as useful items such as rulers and cup holders. They do like their dealers!

Tony Townsend offerred this Indian Rock / Ginger Ale / COCA-COLA / BOTTLING CO. / SO. BOSTON, VA. ten pin style soda.

Savannah GA Show October 21-22, 2005

The annual Savannah GA Bottle Show was held in the regular armory location. With 80 dealer tables and 50 early buyers, there was a nice offerring of bottles and stoneware. There was a cobalt pyramid style ALFS / CHARLESTON soda offerred by Vic Svendsen, along with some rare John Ryan bottles being offerred from the collection of the late Wayne Gray.

The theft that occurred last year was absent this year, thanks in part to a letter that show chairman David Powell distributed to dealers advising how to watch for suspicious people without badges and insure someone was always watching your table. The number of dealers and collectors was down from previous years, an unfortunate trend being seen at many shows since gas prices spiked.

As always, local collectors brought in an impressive array of bottles to display in the lit show cases provided by the club.
