The OBC Strongsville Bottle Show has a success. With a great hospitality room on Saturday night to the Show on Sunday. Louis and dad John provided attendees a well-organized venue in a great location.
Make your plans for September 29th, the OBC Strongsville Antique Bottle show. Download the Contract. The show features a Saturday evening hospitality which you all know the OBC is noted for.
Saturday was the Ohio Bottle Club event at the Hartville Flea Market. The OBC paid $10 of the space rental for each member. Plan to be there in July! Pictured is Logan Fifer. Click on “Read More” for the pictures.

185 inside tables greeted the Mansfield attendees. Elizabeth Lacy was able to reconfigure the show into one building. The new format was actually good for both dealers and the general public.
We are two weeks from Mansfield. We need Mansfield to be successful and we need your help to make it a success! We need gate help, information table help and Friday night dinner help.
The Mansfield dinner will need additional help. Half of the dynamic duo of Lindsay Fifer and Elizabeth Lacy will probably be unavailable. We need members to step up and replace all the hours of preparation. Please contact Matt or Louis.
Use your cell phone to take pictures at Mansfield mostly with individuals. It is a great opportunity to showcase our shows and our club. Send them to me by either email or as a text. Download the contract.
Happy Easter from the Ohio Bottle Club. The picture is an Easter card from the 1890’s and of course is from my favorite, “Meadville Pure Rye”. Don’t forget, Mansfield in three short weeks. Still have time to get a contract.
Spring is right around the corner, which means it is almost Mansfield Bottle Show season! The Mansfield Bottle Show is May 10th and 11th this year, and will be here before we know it. As always, we appreciate the help from the Ohio Bottle volunteers in different aspects of the show! A sign-up sheet will be circulating at the upcoming meetings starting in February. Areas of need for the 2019 show are to have club members take shifts at the Welcome Table in Fairhaven Hall, the Front Gate, and to assist with set-up and clean-up of the Dealer Dinner Friday night. Be sure to find the sign-up sheet at a meeting or email Matt (info@antiquebottlesales.com)! Thanks! Elizabeth
