The Ohio Bottle Club meeting was highlighted by a very entertaining program where members shared their recent acquisitions. Brad Booth showed off his Booth Oyster items, Roger Hardesty added a very nice early picture, Alan DeMaison featured 4 war slogan milks, and Chris Gudzinas impressed with a variety of dug and acquired bottles and insulators. Matt Lacy and Louis Fifer added an impressive grouping of Historical flasks. Jim Salzwimmer share a completed, very rare green Akron run, Brian found a collection of toothpick holders and purchased the production mold. Ken Arthur entertained with his collection of hammers. Great program. Click on Read More for pictures from the program.
