Antique Bottle Books up for Auction!
24 January 2014
I have to say, I am really impressed with the ‘new look’ that Glass Works Auctions has achieved over the past few years. Their pictures of bottles have improved dramatically, their advertising is miles from where it was and their understanding of how to group and photograph objects such as these antique bottle books is just stellar. Hat’s off to Jim, Janice, Jesse and Josh. You can find these books and a lot of glass in their ‘Cabin Fever’ Potpourri Auction now online. I thought I would pull out the examples from the book and magazine offerings.
