2013 Houston Bottle Show Sightings
18 August 2013
Another Houston Antique Bottle Show has come and gone. No rain this year, the weather was hot but the dealer action was hotter. With tables sold out, Barbara Puckett, for the first time in recent years is considering a larger room for next years event. Here are a few quick pictures I captured with my iPhone.
Nice to see big-time collector of Texas Hutches and Crowns, David Cole, Texas Medicine collector Brad Seigler, legendary Texas collector Alton Neatherlin and Civil War author James M. Schmidt. Noticeably absent was Dan Cowman who cancelled his three tables with a sudden illness and Tom and Alicia Booth.
