Elizabeth and I visited with Mike Henness after the Auburn, California 49er Show on 07 December 2009. Ken Edward was also there with Mike. Mike used to have this web site (odd, I can not find it now) that pictured all of his figural bitters, many in color runs. This floored me back in 2002, put some wind in my sails and now I am now totally dedicated to color runs. I also have a number of Mike’s great bottles that have somehow found their way to me via an East Coast collector.
Mike has some really fine bottles. Of course I loved the Bitters Bottles but I really dug his Mineral and Soda Waters and various Gin Bottles. Mike has a good eye. A few of our visit pictures are shown below…
