Viewers were asked to VOTE for their favorite display as “Best in Show” and “Most Educational” awards were given. The announcement of the winners occurred on Sunday, August 7th between at 2:30 pm.

While the Warner’s Safe Bottles & Posters display took both ribbons, you could rely on every person who visited the displays to say an extra “wow” to the outstanding Benicia Glass – Natures Tiffany display by Michael & Karen Peart and the Early American Glass & Seals display by Michael Mckintosh.

In three display areas and rooms dominated by western glass, it came to a surprise by many to see an incredible display of early American glass. The pieces and groupings were stunning and sure provided a more comprehensive overview to collecting historical glass to our hobby.

Congratulations Michael! Why don’t you bring it east to the FOHBC 2017 Springfield National Antique Bottle Convention & Expo!
