Two new unlisted Paterson bottles...

epackage · Sep 29, 2014

Over the weekend we had a show here in South Jersey that I couldn't make due to heart issues, but I was hoping for a phone call or text asking if I "Needed this or need that?". Then I got a FB message from a friend who was at the show in Buffalo NY, turned out he saw a previously unknown, unlisted amber blob from Paterson. I was psyched to say the least, but he had already left the show and was 45 minutes away, but he was willing to drive all the way back for me. I told him not to do it until I exhausted every avenue, so I found the listing for the show and decided to call the venue and ask for the show director, luckily I reached him and told him the general area the table it could be found on would be. He found the dealer and I'm happy to say I should have it this week!!

The second bottle is a Charles H. A. Tiffany balto loop seal blob that was also unlisted on the NJ Bottle Forum, it has a tiny ding on the base in the back, so I took a chance it wouldn't get a bid at the asking price on Ebay. I contacted the seller and made an offer for it on the condition it received no bids, and I'm happy to say I got for it next to nothing. I hope you're all doing well adding to your collections as well.... Jim

Good deal, Jim. As I've said before, it's amazing how many bottles and variants come out of that one town. Great when someone with a collection of the magnitude of yours is able to add a previously unlisted item. Hope you get everything straightened out with that heart. We can't have that, you know.
