I am very sad to report Mike Dolcini passed away today December 4th at 3:00 pm. Mike will be greatly missed by all of his friends and the bottle collecting community. What a great loss to all of us that knew Mike and to the bottle collecting hobby.
 
Mike was an avid digger, collector and researcher of western related bottles, advertising, antiques and Winchester rifles.  No details as of yet but I will post the details about the services when I receive the information.

  2. Mike was a great person and a valued member of our fraternity. He also was an invaluable researcher and contributed greatly to the hobby. As a fellow collector of both western whiskies and antique Winchesters, I can say that he will leave a void in both hobbies.

    I will miss Mike.

  5. I had known Mike for many years. he was always helpful, supportive, and encouraging. Mike was an accomplished digger, researcher, and friend. I know he had fought hard to beat his health issues, but never complained. God Bless you Mike. I will miss that smile. Dale Mlasko

  7. Such sad news and great loss... Mike was so helpful to many, many western collectors for a lot years. I can't think of anyone who was more of an authority on Cutter fifths. Mike was thee #1 Sacramento digger. He was just one of those guys that would have you smiling and laughing in about 5 seconds. An all around great person & friend. We're all better people for having the privilege to have known him. God Bless you Mike and thank you for your friendship... Denny Bray

  8. Mike was a huge positive influence in our hobby, with his unselfish sharing of knowledge and contagious enthusiasm. A paralleled impact is felt with his loss. When a question was presented on any of the bottle related forums, you could be assured that Mike would share his knowledge. He will be greatly missed in so many ways.
