arob here,
I wrote about the Four Seasons Bottle Collectors Club Show and Sale on Dumpdiggers blog.
Plenty of cool things to look at and lots to buy. There were forty dealers inside a hockey arena north of Toronto. If everyone brought a hundred items then that would be four thousand items for sale, under one roof.
Here in Toronto the guys who make big bucks are the people who have day jobs digging holes in the ground for a living. The back tables at the show were occupied by the pottery kingpins - professional excavators - they are landscapers, commercial gas station tank replacers and another Toronto basement waterproofing contractor guy - these pros are paid to dig holes all day and so of course they are going to find stuff. The one dude above finds about a dozen good pieces of pottery a year and countless more old glass bottles. He sells the most stuff at these shows and usually has a fat wad of cash at the ends of the day, and that's all profit cause whatever they find is just gravy on top of a good day job. No doubt they have big collections at home too. The merchandise below is all from holes in the ground - pipe runs that hit privies or buried root cellars. Look at his treasure, for sale.
enjoy the show
