I thought I would give those interested, a peak at the January | February 2014 issue of Bottles and Extras. The issue has exciting articles like Duroy and the Ohio Wine WarHighland Bitters and/or Scotch TonicAmerican and World Antique Advertising Pot Lids – A brief historyThe Case of the Missing Case2014 Lexington National NewsWar Slogan Milk Bottles – Featuring the Collection of Paul Irby and The Animal Cure that Changed Bottle Collecting. There is also a feature article called Key West Revisited – Another Quest to Dive for Bottles from Pam Selenak. Her article inspired this issues cover design which I have broken down into layers below. Kind of fun. We need a blue cover too.
