Friggin’ plane was 5 hours late last night. Got home to peachridge near 2:00 am and came in to office at 5:00 am. Short on keep. Very busy. Ton & tons of bottle stuff too. Look for a post on Dr. Huntington’s Golden Tonic Bitters later today. Ken Previtali sends in the following… Group of Civil War Camp and Personal Items.

Jeff Wichmann comes up big for FOHBC support in Chattanooga. Stay tuned.

Sitting here in Greenville, SC catching up on work. Back to Houston tonight. Actually started out in Greenville Sunday night. Left for Hartford. CT on Tuesday and returnered to Greenville yesterday. All business. No bottle visits. Darn. Just not enough time. Many of you are headed east to the National Bottle Museum Show in Ballston Spa, New York. That sounds like fun. Show Listings. Look for an upcoming post on an extremely rare sarsaparilla from Vicksburg, Mississippi.
