A few pictures from the huge "Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors" (FOHBC) national "convention" here in Sacramento this past weekend. The show was held in what was once a USAF airplane hanger at the former McCellan AFB, the base is now a business park. In fact the huge hall was most recently a Customer Call Center and engineering lab for IPvideo/internet at the telephone company I just retired from. Kinda odd to see a sea of bottles/collectibles/insulators in the land of desks and cubicles I once worked in. Here in the foreground is Larry Shumaker's sales table, a few other insulator sale tables included Arnie Lowenstein and Dwayne Anthony. |
