Sad News

It is with with great sadness that we must announce the passing of Robert “Bobbi” Sekerak. Bobbi was a pioneer in the bottle cleaning. He and Paul Mendik were nationally known for the quality of their cleaning. All their machines were self made and a visit to Bobbi bottle cleaning shop was nothing short of amazing. Bobbi and I were frequent dealers at the Shupp’s Grove Bottle Show. We slept on grounds either in a tent or under the stars. What an adventure. Read Bobbi’s obituary.

With threats of icy roads and monster snow falls, the Columbus Antique Bottle Show and Sale held their annual show. Fortunately for those traveling to the show, Columbus and much further to the north Cleveland, remained on the warmer side of the front and experienced only rain on Sunday after 9 AM as temperatures hoovered in the 40’s. Columbus had a sell out sales floor with some great high quality bottles for the buyers. See “Read More” for all the great pictures.
