Meyer Table at the 2011 Houston Bottle Show

Posted on 24 July 2011 by Ferdinand Meyer V

I took of few pictures of my two (2) tables at the 2011 Houston Bottle Show. The proximity of the show allowed me to take some of my light tables and to display a few bottles. I had no illusions that I would sell much (I didn’t) as the Texas crowd seems mostly into Texas Bottles, ACL Sodas, Insulators, Breweriana and Hutches etc.

    Nice selection of colorful bottles and the photographs are very well done. I did not realize there were bottles other than bitters in your collection.
