]]> Comment on Bottle Thefts at the Reno Expo by Dana Charlton (Zarro) http://www.fohbc.org/2012/08/bottle-thefts-at-the-reno-expo/#comment-214 Dana Charlton (Zarro) Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:53:08 +0000 http://www.fohbc.org/?p=4860#comment-214 Something I have requested over & over: Name tags should be accurate. There are (fortunately) few people in our hobby who are known or thought to be thieves. Not everyone knows the faces of these people but if they know the person’s name and see him/her near their table with an accurate name tag, they are more likely to be cautious. To wear a tag with someone else’s name isn’t cute, it’s hiding true identity.

]]> Comment on FOHBC 2013 National Antique Bottle Show – Manchester, New Hampshire by pamselenak http://www.fohbc.org/2013/04/fohbc-2013-national-antique-bottle-show-manchester-new-hampshire/#comment-212 pamselenak Fri, 10 Aug 2012 02:45:34 +0000 http://www.fohbc.org/?p=4605#comment-212 I’m looking forward to it. We were selling alot of tables already at the Reno show. As soon as people found out that there were going to be 250 tables they didn’t want to take a chance on not getting one. It’s great to be able to know this far in advance so we can make our 2013 plans. Don’t procrastinate, I believe most if not all tables will be gone by the end of the Baltimore show.

The Northwestern Bottle Club is going to take to Reno their famous Gazebo and set up a feature for people that want to display bottles in a non-competitive setting. The Gazebo will hold all sizes of bottles from inks to tall bitters. The bottles will be signed in with the person’s name on the bottom and that person is the only one able to remove them.
