Bull<strong>October</strong> 2003JFO Completes 25 Years with Issue #100It all started with one man’s dedication to opener collecting, Don Bull. In 1978 helaunched <strong>Just</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Openers</strong> and within a short time had over 200 dedicated opener collectors.He spent five years as editor and was followed by Ed Kaye and Art Santenwho also each served five years. This completes my tenth year and hopefully I cancarry the torch another ten years. Don, Ed and Art have continued to bring great supportto the club and I want especially to thank each of them for their devotion to thehobby. Original members still active in JFO include, Don Bull, Alex Darocy, DuaneDummer, Jack <strong>For</strong>d, Ed Kaye, Herbert Haydock, George Lohmiller and DonSherman. Congratulations and another special thanks for your twenty-five years ofsupport. The Handbook has grown from 2,947 listings in 1978 to 15,123 for 2003. In1978 there were 222 known types and by 1993 the number had grown to 1,032. JFOhas realized great growth over the years and with sources such as the JFO Auction andeBay, members can continue to add to their collections. Thanks to all current membersand please keep supporting <strong>Just</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Openers</strong>.A-30-11RainierBrewing CoSan FranciscoA fairly tough opener to find, even for the west coast collectors. John Cartwright,next year’s convention co-host, found mine the year after the last convention in SanFrancisco. If you want to find one for your collection, plan on attending the 26thAnnual JFO Convention next April in San Francisco. Of course you can wait for oneto appear on eBay or in a JFO Auction, but you will be very old when one does.————–——————–—2004 San Francisco—————–————Convention registration is at the back of this issue. Early birds are welcomed to goahead and register with the hotel by calling the Holiday Inn Fisherman’s Wharf. Thedates are April 14-17, 2004 and toll free hotel number is 1-800-942-7348. Rememberto tell them you are with the <strong>Just</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Openers</strong> group.———————————ABA Opener Exchange—————————Ernie Thoms volunteered to take over the ABA Opener Exchange for Dave Lendy.You must be an ABA member.

2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U E # 1 0 0J U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003PAGE 2Editor Buys Ed Kaye’s A-9 CollectionWe went back and forth for a few months, but early in September I closed the deal with Ed Kaye to buy his A-9 BeerBaseball Player opener collection. Ed had sold his non-beer A-9s on eBay and I had asked last spring if he started tosell his beer A-9s to give me a shot at the whole collection. Ed had collected 37 of the 43 known beer A-9s. We settledon a price of $2,500.00 for the 37. Hopefully in the next few months I will add pictures of all of the beer A-9s Inow have to the JFO website. I had two malt ones that Ed did not have and two additional varieties he did not have,so the collection now numbers 41. Check my want ad for the missing four. Thank you very much Ed for giving mea chance to own this fine collection.M-3 New Find !!! Standard Scranton BeerBarry Hunsburger, a former JFO member, turned up this previouslyunknown, M-3 Standard Scranton Beer / The Best BeerBrewed Is Brewed In Scranton. Barry has a fabulous collectionof sliders and lives in a prime area for finding them,Easton, Pa. When he started selling off his beer collection lastyear, he said most buyers wanted to know one thing. “Was heselling his slider collection?” Lithos worth several thousandwere on the market and Barry said most people wanted those“sliders”. Great find Barry and continued good hunting.Sandra Emme Elected President of FBOC (Figural Bottle Opener Club)At the annual FBOC Convention July, Sandra Emme was elected President of the club. Best of luck to Sandra. Detailsabout FBOC are in the Club Section and the color Identification Guide book is in the Sale Ad section.Texas Yard Sale Yields Rare A-19-2 San AntonioJeb Burruss reported that at a late summer Texas yard sale, one of the local beer collectors bought a bag of junkopeners for $4. All junk except for one opener, an A-19-2 San Antonio alligator figural bottle opener. That was thegood news, the bad news Jeb did not get the opener. A local Lone Star ended up with the opener. It has been 20years since I got a good opener at a yard sale. It has been 10 years since I went to one. Oh well.Ken Hoesch Turns Up Another UL CBOKenny Hoesch bought ($79.99) the UL CBOon the right on eBay this past quarter. Knifestyle with very unusual handle outline. Adsays “FM. Howell & Co. Cigar Boxes andLabels Elmira, N. Y. Nice find Kenny.Neat A-35 Missed on eBaySomehow I missed this one. I have several beerA-35s, but the ad on this one is super neat.“Comps. of Witch City Bottling Works, Inc. Salem,Mass.” The buyer was a serious Salem,Mass collector so who knows how high theywould have gone (sold for a measly $15).Start planning now for the 2004 JFO Convention in San Francisco, the 1998was a great convention, don’t miss out, enjoy the comraderie, openers andgeneral fun time enjoyed by everyone attending. (Ollie Hibbeler: Be There!!!)


2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U EJ U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003Spouse’s Corner (continued)PAGE 7Four pages of Bill McKienzie’s drawings of E-9 with Rounded Heads and E-14s with Squared or Dipped Heads wereincluded in the January issue.Various members submitted their suggestions for Cleaning <strong>Openers</strong> for this issue. John told a story where he cleanedup an A-13 Car for Gary Deachman at a convention. It came out so nice that Gary wouldn’t trade it to John, so Johnwarns you not to clean an opener until after the trade!!In an earlier issue John only soaked openers in Oxalic Acid for a few hours. In this issue he said that after lots ofexperimenting he many times now “soaks” openers overnight if they are especially rusty. I didn’t know about hisprocess change for awhile and kept waking him up (since the night owl is up much later than the early bird who istrying to catch openers) to tell him that he left an opener in the jar, fearing it would be completely dissolved by morning.John always worries about collectors who live near salt water as the fight against rust is a full time job. Right nowwe are worried about JFO member Mark Benjamin as Isabel’s path crossed their home on the coast of North Carolina.(Update: The openers are fine—oh, they are too. Lost their pier and was the extent of their damage.)Spouse’s Corner featured Paulette Kutska’s response to my questionnaire about your spouses addiction to collectingopeners. She was the first in the marriage to collect, collecting button hooks, bookmarks and old books when he got“hooked” on openers.This summarizes the first 18 pages of the 56 pages in January 1995 issue. The other pages included the auction andnew additions.Next is April 1995, compiled in the frenzy of excitement that the Annual JFO Convention to be held in St. Joseph,Missouri is quickly approaching!Bill McKienzie hadn’t been able to contribute to JFO for a couple of years due to health problems, but thanks to aperiod of improved health, he sent in an extremely nice article on the Hund & Eger Bottling Company that distributedGoetz Country Club Beer.St. Joseph is famous for being the starting point of the Pony Express, so the Goetz Brewing Company founded in1859 chose the theme of a pony express rider and the slogan “Famous Since the Days of THE PONY EXPRESS” toadvertise their beer.Don Whelan assisted with Bill’s article by researching the history of the Hund & Eger Bottling Company and sendingpictures of openers in his collection and photocopies of ads from the city directories. Two great collectors, bothsorely missed by all the JFO family who had the privilege of knowing them.The Hund & Eger Bottling Company is of special interest to both collectors of beer and soda advertising openers asSeldom do you find a bottling company:issuing more than one or two openersthat had chosen such desirable and unusual types to advertise their business and productsthat was an agent for three different brewersthat had a name other than Coca-Cola Bottling Company that is a bottler and distributor of Coca-Colathat was as unique as the Hund & Eger Bottling Company


2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U EJ U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003PAGE 8Spouse’s Corner (continued)Read the rest of the story of this company dating back to 1882 in the April 1995 issue, including the fact that theybecame the agent for Schlitz probably having been made an offer they couldn’t refuse.I remember April 1995 well, listening to John torment himself about going up $3 on the Annual JFO dues so hecould mail out the issues First Class. In this announcement John tells how his day is always brightened when anotherJFO member calls him. It’s a time to talk openers and more openers. Then they would tell him that they hadnot received the newsletter he had mailed weeks before and his happy mood turned to solemn. He felt personallyresponsible.The results of the huge Bull Auction were published. 2,575 openers brought over $16,000. The high bid as $237 fora B-19-49 Hajicek bought for the grandson of Hajicek.Other memories of 1995 included the visit Ben and Cornelia Hoffman made with us in Mid-January, just as withdrawalfrom lack of antique shows brings collectors to their lowest point of the winter. Besides all the time spent inJohn’s Opener Room, we did go to the Greensboro Flea Market.I always remember one time I dropped John off there and went on to do some shopping of my own. It’s in a coliseumthat is fenced in and has several gates. As my mind was on my plan, I did not pay attention to which gate. Idrove around and around upon my return and finally found him under a tree on this hot afternoon, not real happywith me!!The February Blue & Grey show in Fredericksburg, Virginia is another prescription for the winter blues and greyclouds hovering from lack of new, old openers. (Ebay has helped remedy this affliction, perhaps almost cured it exceptfor the huge need to see other collectors who re-enforce that there are others who understand the disease).At the 17 th Annual Blue & Grey show, Fil Graff and his wife Robbie were set up to sell his can and bottle collectionas Fil had just retired and they were leaving Chicago to moved to collectors paradise, Pennsylvannia.We hopefully will see the JFO member highlighted in the April Spouse’s Corner when John and I head to San Franciscoin mid-<strong>October</strong> and stay where the April 2004 Convention will be held….the one and only Jack <strong>For</strong>d. I wasglad to meet Jack at the 1998 JFO Convention in San Francisco, the man who had cared for his wife who sufferedfrom the “horrible grips of Multiple Sclerosis” most of their married life. She was a serious collector herself andtheir love of collecting gave them “many happy moments” during her lifetime. I still think of that article when I seesomeone at a show in a wheelchair. Don’t glare at them if they block your way for a moment, they are there becausethey love collecting too.The April issue included a list of Vaughn Ads shown in the then 16 years of JFO and four pages of a circa 1937Vaughan Catalog from the collection of Ben Hoffman.Next the July issue, my favorite as it’s the JFO Convention Issue!! The best walk down memory lane!Don and Cora Whelan hosted the first of two conventions they had for the club in St. Joseph, Missouri. There were40 members at this great show including 8 first time attendees while 13 regular attendees were absent for variousreasons.Ollie Hibbeler’s write up about the lunch at the landmark saloon, “The Bucket Shop” described one of the best timesever perfectly. “The wagon train going there got lost at least twice. It made you wonder how the pioneers ever madeit West! About the third bucket of beer we were pleasantly surprised by the piano playing of one of our member’s


2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U Espouse, Jane Alcorn from Lincoln, Nebraska. Everyone joined in the sing-a-long and Ben Hoffman and HaroldSpouse’s Corner (continued)Queen danced the Pennsylvania polka together. And it was hardly noon yet!”John’s Convention Highlights mentioned:J U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003PAGE 9our quarter mile run, openers in tow, through the Atlanta airport when a late arrival jeopardized meeting ourconnectionthe kindness extended to us by our host and hostess who reserved a suite for us at the convention hotelDon Sherman’s trip from LA by train to Kansas City, then bus to St. Joe, then walking the last mile from thebus station to the hotel, packed down with a heavy load….accomplished on the sheer excitement of anotherJFO ConventionSome teasing aimed at Art Santen about JFP, “<strong>Just</strong> for Plastic” that John apologized for in the next issueI especially enjoyed the Schlitz Article from the early 1900’s in Harper’s Magazine that was included in the JulyJFO. The author who “began to gain a normal opinion” on beer through travel, after being raised where beer wasconsidered a veritable symbol of sin, went into great detail about the production of Schlitz beer. His doctor told himthat the malt and hops in beer were good for him as they were nerve foods and tonics and he needed them, but to getpure beer – Schlitz beer.<strong>For</strong> those M-3 Slide Out enthusiasts like Art Johnson, better go back to page 31 of the July issue to see price rangesbased on ratings of the number known, i.e. 1 to 5 known would bring $80-$100. Bet those prices are out of datenow!Spouse’s Corner July 1995 honored Vic Keown. His wife Mary Ann described the JFO Convention as the FamilyReunion Type Convention. The reunion misses Vic and welcomes Mary Ann to come if she can.Better move on to the <strong>October</strong> 1995 issue as this is getting quite lengthy even with me leaving out some notes I’vemade.I don’t remember reading one article in 1995 that I found very interesting in my review, hope you do too.In one of the volumes of “The Canadian Brewerianist”, it was mentioned that a very rare bottle had been sighted inSaskatchewan and so the ingenuity and persistence to track down this treasure, a rare Peerless Lager Beer bottle, beganby Paul Wingate.First he called Dick Sweet to find out who spotted it. A lucky start as Dick had spotted it in the town of Watrous,population 2000. A newspaper ad wouldn’t work as no newspaper in this little town. Door to door inquiry didn’tsound good at first, but as the love of the hunt took command, he made up 450 flyers and made a rainy drive with hisfamily and friends to Watrous one Labor Day weekend. It wasn’t raining there so the kids delivered flyers to all buta couple of blocks of houses as they ran out of copies.Then the wait began. A few calls about other bottles people had. After a month he started to accept that he hadmissed the house or the owner was keeping the treasure. Over the next six months he had more or less given up onit, but still considering another attempt. On April 27, 1995 his wife told him that some guy was on the phone aboutbottles again. Paul even wrote down the name Peerless Lager Beer before anything sunk in. It now sits in his bottleroom where “it has always belonged”.Spouse’s Corner collector honored was Art Santen as he had been on national television, but had not really made it


2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U EJ U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003until featured in Spouse’s Corner. His wife Dorothy told about her father giving Art an Anheuser-Busch knife withSpouse’s Corner (continued)a peephole and Art was “captured and seduced by the hobby”. She doesn’t collect anything because there is noroom! Can’t dispute that!John included articles about the ECBA Convention in Kingston, NY and the NABA Convention in Chattanooga, TN.That was a busy year, as I went to both of these too.We stopped in Stamford, Ct., the former home of Don and Bonnie Bull on they way back from Kingston. We endedup driving straight home from there, with the night owl pulling the late shift. About 3 a.m. we made a stop at a busywell-lit gas station. We were going to feed the car then cross a service road to a Hardee’s. I came out of the ladiesroom and didn’t see John. Could not imagine that he would move the car over to Hardee’s and make me walk acrossby myself and I knew our Yorkie, Cognac would never leave me. I looked over there and no John! As panic startedto take over, thinking John had been collector-napped, I started to go to the register to see if a red head had been in topay. Before totally embarrassing myself, I realized that gas pumps were on both sides of the station and I was lookingon the wrong side. Some strong coffee and we made it home at 5 a.m. Does it surprise you to know that Johnimmediately started polishing openers he acquired on our journey?And do I remember Chattanooga!! We did eat some great food there and I had fun selling American Breweries IIhandbooks as John was too pre-occupied to do so. But the thing I remember most is this. I came back to our roomand found Harold Queen looking at a pile of openers on a towel I didn’t recognize. Not one of ours and not the hotels.John could have easily purchased a collection without my knowledge if he hadn’t brought it back from theseller’s room in a towel thrown in with the “deal”.The <strong>October</strong> issue had a great article on the Shrapnel Corkscrew and collector Robert Goldscheider. Some of thequotes I liked in this article include:PAGE 10The scholarship of corkscrews is a lot of funThe admixture of collecting and technology appeals to GoldscheiderI love to see the evolution of corkscrews made by the same companyGoldscheider often spends evenings oiling the levers and polishing the silver, brass and steel…it’s very relaxingto bring them back to life.Read the article to learn more and see some great pictures of Goldscheider’s favorites.Then if your opener/corkscrew appetite is still hungry, check out the Cigar Box <strong>Openers</strong> and Cigar Cutter picturesBill McKienzie provided for our enjoyment, 10 pages of sketches and his last contribution to the JFO newsletter.And so I conclude another Spouse’s Corner. John is watching his college football team play. I think I’m coming inunder the wire quite early.There are four sounds in our home that let me know that John is home, the sound of his keyboard taking him on hisconstant survey of eBay, clinking of openers, the polisher running in the garage, and sports!!Looking <strong>For</strong>ward to a Preview of San Francisco this <strong>October</strong>A recent eBay purchase (not cheap at $142.00) but I wanted it pretty bad.Not many advertising items from Ontario Brewing Co. Full ad reads“Compliments of Ontario Brewing Co. Frank Brosemer Oswego, N. Y.(Good thing Pat was born in Ontario, Canada or this would be in her pile).

2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U EJ U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003“Opener and eBay Trivia”PAGE 19Art Santen sent in an “Opener Trivia” question aboutTannhaeuser versus Tannhauser (No first E). On mostopeners Tannhaeuser is used but a couple of breweriesdid use Tannhauser. Those being Ohio Union from Columbus,Oh and Bergner & Engel from Philadelphia.Several openers from the Philadelphia area have Tannhaeuserso we can only assume a rival brewer used thatspelling. I have a couple of Bergner & Engel knives andthe spelling is Tannhauser. Art questioned the followingopeners as he has them in his collection. In each caseTannhauser should be Tannhaeuser. The openers to becorrected are B-18-162 Claussen, and B-21-310, B-21-360 and B-21-450 should all be changed to Tannhaeuser.Does anyone have these openers with the spelling ofTannhauser?You will probably notice that eBay results are downabout a 100 items this past quarter. Summer time usuallysees less action on eBay but could also be a sign of dealersjust finding fewer good opener to sell. The cast ironBritish patent openers see a constant influx of the samestyle. <strong>For</strong> any one week there will be at least a 100 ofthis common style offered for sale. As usual we see newfaces in the opener market and I was even successful ingetting a couple of them to join JFO.The “boss lady (Corkie I guess)” ordered me to start thinningsome of non-opener items I have in the house so Ibecame and eBay seller this past quarter. I tried to listthree items a day and overall was very pleased with thesells. One area of openers I decided to start selling someof my collection was Coca-Cola openers. Competition oneBay is very strong as several advanced collectors areconstantly bidding and buying the good Coca-Cola openers.Leading off with my quarterly analysis, two A-1 Coca-Cola sold for $300 each (one from Nebraska was frommy collection). Coca-Cola by far and away put out themost “A” figural styles of any advertising company. Alot of great styles to shoot for, just bring the checkbookwhen you get ready to buy any of these. A-9 baseballplayers were abundant (see the Ed Kaye Collection Soldarticle). Non-Beer A-9s have seen prices drop as eBaycontinually has a steady stream of this style being listedfor sale. Even the more common beer ones are strugglingto break the $40 price barrier. <strong>Just</strong> remember the cyclemay be a little down now but can turn back up at anytimewhen some new buyers enter the market.The A-11-1 Wooden Shoe selling price of $73.00 was apretty surprise to me as you rarely see this one on themarket. The A-17 Dr Pepper is the 4th or 5th of this styleoffered on eBay and they have all brought in 400-600price range. This example was pretty rough looking butwas really hard to tell as the picture shown was not toogood. Overall a nice selections “A”s and I will close withthe Goodyear Airplane going for $26.00 and normally itsells for around $50.00. Once again eBay has offeredmany for sale and the price is reflecting the availability.The “B”s kick off with a very hard to find B-1-28 Reno.Even with no paint it was a nice looking opener andbrought a good price at $142.19. My lucky bid of$133.99 got blown away on the B-12-UL Diehls. <strong>Just</strong>one of those beer brands with a very serious collector orcollectors chasing after anything with that name. I waseven more surprised to see the B-12-3 Gold Top go foronly $19.49. Fairly tough beer type and I paid $65.00 formy B-12-3. I was beat on the B-13 Coca-Cola from Alabamaby the heavyweight Coca-Cola collectors. Somegood beer keys with the highlights being the B-18-52North Yakima and the B-23-UL Reisch in the $100 range.The B-42 Coca-Cola went high as usually this sells in the$40-50 range. The B-60-1 Bartl Brau saw a lot of biddingand even though it did not have much paint, hit the$200 plateau.Not many good “C”s, but the C-13 Dr Pepper hit $150.00and it was the 3rd or 4th example on eBay (all bringing$100-$150). As I mentioned before the British sellershave flooded the market with cast iron openers. I do notanything about their breweries as far as what is rare andwhat is common. The cast iron opener with the openerend shaped like a cat’s paw is desirable. “E-5” sodas dowell especially if the handle pictures a bottle. Some good“E-14”s were available. I watched the first E-14-278Storck sell for $66.00 and lsited Dave Lendy’s. It soldfor $47.35. Metzger openers do well, so I sold Dave’s for$42.00 on eBay. The seller of the E-14-528 Olt hadfound an extra at a Dayton, Oh yard sale and offered hisspare on eBay. I bought the E-16-3 West End from aseller in England. He had beaten me out on the opener oneBay about 4 years ago. At the time he was going to collectwire openers but in the last few months decided tosell off his wire collection. He also had the E-14-849Wachter and the E-4 Caton Cigars.


2 5 T H Y E A R I S S U EJ U S T FOR OPENERS OCTO B ER 2003“Opener and eBay Trivia”PAGE 20“F” Kitchen tools were pretty dominated by soda brandsselling well. One surprise was the F-12 Horsford BakingPowder going for $191.50. I did not realize this was sodesirable. Mike Krejci wanted the “New Discovery F”Gutsch kitchen tool similar to an F-12 but instead of aslotted spoon, it has a measuring spoon. Mike will sendpictures for next year’s “New Discoveries”.Cast iron figurals continue to see the common and reproopeners constantly offered for sale on eBay. Some of thegood examples that sold are shown highlighted by the“Skull” opener at $1,026.00. Sandra Emme did passalong that Les Zakarin passed away. He was one of theoriginal 12 founding members of the Figural BottleOpener Club (FBOC). His family sold part of his collectionon eBay and allowed the club to sell some of the collectionat their annual convention this past July. Thehighlight of that auction was the F-422 Amish Man bringing$3,800.00.“G” type saw limited sales for better brands, but Dr Peppereasily led the way with $150.00 for G-4. “H”s sawthe person who has found a pile of what was a toughopener, H-3-48 Koenig, continue to list them at a startingprice of $9.99. I think everyone who needs one in JFOhas this opener by now. A near complete set of “H-8”s(missing 1 of the Arrow beer openers) brought a decentprice at $146.50. As is becoming the case with eBay, somany different “H-8”s are offered that is not that hard toget most of the known ones. Getting real nice condition“H-8”s is another story, even for many of the commonones.“K”s and “L”s saw little this action quarter, but a nice K-9-1 Blatz sold for $167.59. Common sliders were prevalentand Art Johnson got real lucky on a previously unknownnon-beer one from the Ritz Carlton Hotel NewYork City. Harold Queen got a nice buy on the M-3Electro-Chemical (Green) at $42.01. The price for the M-5-2 Flecks is the Minnesota factor rearing its priceyhead. I will never understand how someone can sell somany repros of one opener as the lucky seller has on theM-19 Coca-Cola. But one finally went reasonable at$14.50. I really wanted and ended up with the M-26-ULOntario from Oswego, NY. Beer “M-73”s are still verydesirable as an M-73-14 with no paint bringing $109.16proves.“N-4” opener knives continue to bring good money, butthe Jumbo Cola with half of the paint missing seemedhigh at $82.01. No other surprises in the “N”s except forthe N-68-1 Kittanning knife. Maybe some other collectorshave turned this one up, but when Don and I did theJFO book in 1998 we had to borrow the knife from TomZruno’s daughter. Tom had originally discovered it andeven with two worn blades was the only example weknew of at that time. The one I got on eBay for $84.99 isin great shape.Starr openers continued to see strong sales. This areaalways seems to attract “New Blood” and even thoughprices can fluctuate pretty wildly, the good openers alwaysseem to bring good money. One example is the O-5Pep (the one with Made In The U. S. A. on the back, notthe newer German version). The $200-300 price it bringsis always consistent. Competition is very tough for thegood Starr openers. <strong>Just</strong> be ready to pay the big bucks ifyou want to collect these. A nice O-12-1 Pabst brought$250.00 (from Dave Lendy’s collection). The Starr Coca-Cola corkscrew wall mounts saw some strong biddingand price results. These had been selling in the $50-100price range.“P” corkscrews have a lot of results because the marketwas somewhat flooded with a 2001 Champagne Knife putout by Anheuser-Busch to celebrate their 125th year (Ipresume 125 years of Budweiser). The knife was madein China and supposedly given out at a 2001 Sales Convention.The first one brought $609.00 but the price hasbeen going down to the $200 range as more are offered. Ihave not actually seen one to check out he quality, so Iwill wait to make any comments when I have actuallyheld one. They come in a nice wooden box. As morecome on the market we will see where the price ends up.A decent P-7 Coca-Cola sold for only $79.99 (conditionseemed to be a problem). The only other one of these Ihave ever seen is in Judy Jay’s soda collection (but hers isreal nice). The usual offering of nice “P” types continued.The hard to find (but not that rare) R-8-1 Kaierswall mount was offered with no paint. The ending pricedid not meet reserve (DNMR).The general corkscrew market continued strong as a widevariety of nice corkscrews were sold. Once again youneed a fat checkbook and a lot of luck as competition forgood ones never lets up. As you receive this issue, DonBull is hosting the annual I.C.C.A. meeting in Roanoke,Va,. With only 50 members, a very select group. I amsure Don will give a good dose of Southern Hospitality.
