Since no one in our family is interested, we're wanting to get them to a club that would preserve history for future generations. We'll be in the D.C. and MD area towards the third week of October and would be interested in meeting with a member or members with the intent of selling the bottles. - Woody & Diane Nice djnice55 AT embarqmail DOT com | ||

I don't think he has a list, so you may need to arrange to meet with them while they are in town next month. Feel free to contact them directly at the email address in the above post. | ||

Richard was there too. Richard got 2 of the bottles, and I got the rest for a very reasonable price.

As for the Shinn... it's identical to a bottle I already have, but I noticed that the one I already have has a tiny bubble burst. So I'm thinking I'm gonna tumble the Shinn and keep whichever one looks better. - Chosi | ||

I'd like to take a look at the Washington Brewery ones, and I'll FINALLY bring you the clear script ABC we discussed over the summer (hope you still need it! ;o). Looking forward to seeing everyone and all the summer's finds! - Al [ Edited Mon Oct 26 2009, 08:56 ] | ||
