| Bottle collecting in the news: this from Arizona newspaper The Verde Independent Antique Inkbottles & Inkwells | |||
COTTONWOOD - Ron Smith was already a collector when Henry, his supervisor, asked him to go along on a dig for old bottles. That was 45 years ago in Maryland, and Ron's hobby was collecting Civil War relics with a metal detector. But after that first trip digging through a historic dump near the remains of a fire-destroyed hotel, Ron was hooked on a new collecting interest. |
