With at least five (5) bottle auctions happening now (read September Auction Round-Up) including American Bottle Auctions, Glass Works, Heckler, North American Glass and the upcoming Pole Top/Glass Discoveries it is easy to lose sight of the big Thomas McCandless Collection coming up in three (3) sessions. Norman C. Heckler & Company has quite a bit of information on their web site about this historic collection.
