Does anyone have any reports or photos of last weekends Reno Bottle Show. Do to previous commitments I was not able to attend this years show and any information on the show would be appreciated.
Thanks - rs -
I didn't take any pictures at the show, but walking around I did see at Wichmann' s table, a olive green colored Cundurango Bitters scheduled for his upcoming auction. An Amber Dr Wonser's U.S.A. Indian Root Bitters in his for sale section. At another table a square Dr Wonser's U.S.A. Bitters for sale, also an aqua Dr Wonser' s U.S.A. Indian Root Bitters on another table for sale. I ended up buying a Pratt's New Life, A. McBoyle San Francisco medicine bottle in a dark purplish brown color from the 1998 San Francisco dig.
Missed sssing you there Rick. This was really the show of western sodas. While there were a few nice bitters and whiskey's, the real standouts were the incredible selection of western sodas this year. Fred Holabird had a "private sale" off site with some amazing colored soda's available. Joe Salazar had the finest western sodas I have seen at a show including a green Eastern Cider, prussian blue D.S. & Co, lime green Ficken, and a cobalt blue Taylor Chili. A Nevada digger sold a color run of S.F. Glass Works soda's and the nicest Venard S.F. spice I have ever seen in deep lime green. The whiskey's included a beautiful C.W. Stuart's. PMSS, and an olive Jesse Moore. There were a few nice western medicines as well. All in all a good show. DM
We were also sorry to miss the show but were the organizers of the first annual Downieville Mountain Brewfest here in town. A giant success with over 19 micro brewery's and 800 attendees. Lots of beer was consumed over the weekend....burp...

Sorry you guys didn't make it Rick. We picked up some nice Boston Sandwich Glass Colognes and a nice early Historical Flask.
